Arsenal will be hoping to win their first league game in a while when they face Bournemouth away at the Vitality stadium on Boxing Day.
This is the first game Mikel Arteta will take charge of since being appointed as the manager of the Gunners last week.
Arsenal drew at Everton on Saturday, in a game where they looked solid defensively, something that hasn’t been said of the Gunners for a long time.
On Thursday, they will face a Bournemouth side who lost at home to Burnley over the weekend and are in a run of five defeats in six games.
In terms of team news, Arsenal welcomed Dani Ceballos and Hector Bellerin back to training. It remains to be seen whether the duo will be included in the squad or not. Sead Kolasinac and Kieran Tierney are long-term absentees.
This is the Arsenal XI that we predict Arteta might name against Bournemouth.
