Arsenal are currently five points behind fourth-placed Liverpool in the premier league table, and the gunners must avoid dropping more points at this stage – if they are to overtake Jurgen Klopp’s side.

After the 0-0 draw with Chelsea on Wednesday in the League Cup, Arsenal will clash with Bournemouth in the premier league on Sunday, and we wonder who will emerge victorious between the two sides.

Although Alexis Sanchez has been heavily linked with a move away from the club in recent times, since the talented Chilean international participated in the midweek game against Chelsea, we also expect him to be part of the party to clash with Bournemouth this weekend in the premier league.

The former Barcelona player is expected to partner with Mesut Ozil and Alexandre Lacazette upfront.

In the centre of the park, we expect Mohamed Elneny to replace injured Englishman Jack Wilshere and should partner with Xhaka, while the trio of Holding, Mustafi and Chambers should take care of the backside for Arsene Wenger on Sunday.

With Petr Cech in-between the sticks, here is Arsenal’s strongest possible 3-4-2-1 XI vs the cherries.

GK – Cech
DC – Holding
DC – Mustafi
DC – Chambers
ML – Maitland-Niles
MC – Xhaka
MC -Elneny
MR – Bellerin
AC – Alexis
AC – Ozil
FC – Lacazette
