Dream Arsenal lineup vs Bournemouth as Bukayo Saka recovers, Nelson starts and Ramsdale stays

Bukayo Saka returns from injury in Arsenal’s ideal lineup to face Bournemouth in the Premier League, while Reiss Nelson begins.

Arsenal is trying to resume their winning ways in the Premier League after the heartbreak of the North London Derby, and they took the first step with a 1-0 victory at Brentford in midweek. Mikel Arteta used a huge amount of substitutions during the Carabao Cup match, which helped him rest several important players.

However, this weekend, when the Gunners return to Premier League action away against Bournemouth on the south coast, you’ll feel things are getting back to normal. Even though there is still disagreement about who should start in goal, if Mikel Arteta’s comments on it are taken game by game, there is only one option.

David Raya made a spectacular save against Tottenham, but overall he struggled and was criticized for his performance, particularly for the way he handled the situation leading up to the opening goal for Tottenham. Aaron Ramsdale should remain in goal after a superb performance and clean sheet in the middle of the week, right?

In defense, William Saliba missed the trip to Brentford and stayed home to recover so he and Gabriel Magalhaes can return this weekend fit and fresh. Takehiro Tomiyasu’s fantastic performance last week and Ben White’s early-season troubles have me leaning toward the Japanese international replacing Oleksandr Zinchenko on the left.

Fabio Vieira was also rested for the Carabao Cup fixture, so he will be fresh, fit and firing and ready for the Bournemouth test to rejoin Martin Odegaard.

The expectation is that Bukayo Saka has recovered from the severe bruising he sustained in the duel up top. After scoring last week, Reiss Nelson ought to pair up with a former youth teammate from Arsenal so that Gabriel Jesus may move back to the center of the attack and produce a performance similar to what we saw against PSV.

For players like Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard, the game might come too soon, but the Champions League trip to RC Lens the following week will undoubtedly give the players some time to settle back into the game before the arrival of Man City. But obtaining all three points at Bournemouth must be the priority; else, title ambitions may as well be dashed. forgotten.
