Bournemouth are the only non-newly promoted team that has yet to win a Premier League game so far this season. While the Cherries have endured tricky matches against Liverpool, Tottenham and Brighton, failure to beat the likes of West Ham, Brentford and a struggling Chelsea has seen them sink to 17th in the table. In fact, the south coast side is only outside of the relegation zone on goal difference. With a first win sorely needed, the visit of the title-chasing Gunners is hardly well-timed. 

Meanwhile, Arsenal will travel down to the Vitality Stadium looking for a response after a frustrating derby-day draw against fierce rivals Tottenham. The Gunners took the lead twice but allowed Spurs a route back into the game on both occasions. However, this disappointing draw shouldn’t detract from what has otherwise been a strong start to the new season. Arsenal are undefeated after six games and the form of Bukayo Saka and Martin Ødegaard will give the Gooner faithful hope that their side can mount another title challenge this year. 

Here's how they line up: 

Bournemouth: Neto, Kerkez, Senesi, Zabaryni, Aarons, Billing, Cook, Kluivert, Christie, Tavernier, Solanke.

Arsenal: Raya, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Odegaard, Rice, Havertz, Saka, Nketiah, Jesus.

The last time these sides met back in March, it was a seriously memorable encounter. Bournemouth took an unexpected two-goal lead before Arsenal fought back to win 3-2 with a 97th-minute winner from Reiss Nelson. Let’s hope for a similarly thrilling match in the latest Arsenal vs Bournemouth live stream. And we’ll show you how to watch from anywhere.
