These are the confirmed lineups for Bournemouth vs Arsenal at the Vitality Stadium. The Gunners have looked impressive in the first half of the 2025/26 season. Mikel Arteta’s men have only lost twice in all competitions, with Aston Villa and Liverpool the only two teams to defeat Arsenal. Manchester City and Villa continue to be the nearest challengers to Arteta’s team. Can Arsenal maintain their lead at the top of the league, or can Andoni Iraola’s men cause a shock in the 17:30 GMT kick-off slot on January 3?
Bournemouth have been inconsistent this season, but have shown themselves capable of causing any team problems with their recent high-scoring draws against Manchester United and Chelsea. Antoine Semenyo, Justin Kluivert, David Brooks and Evanilson are all capable of causing Arsenal problems.
Bournemouth: Petrovic, Truffert, Senesi, Brooks, Scott, Evanilson, Tavernier, Kluivert, Jimenez, Hill, Semenyo.
Subs: Forster, Cook, Soler, Smith, Diakite, Adli, Kroupi Jr, Enes Unal, Rees-Dottin.
Arsenal: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Hincapie, Zubimendi, Rice, Odegaard, Madueke, Martinelli, Gyokeres.
Subs: Arrizabalaga, White, Lewis-Skelly, Norgaard, Merino, Eze, Saka, Trossard, Jesus.
