Confirmed Arsenal line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Bournemouth, Madueke & Martinelli start

03 January 2026 - 17:26

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has made three changes to the starting line-up for today's Premier League clash against Bournemouth on the road.

  • Chelsea set to announce new manager tomorrow
  • Man Utd make big decision on January signings



  • The Gunners can extend their gap at the top of the table to six points with a victory over the Cherries. Ahead of the game, there are some surprise changes from the 4-1 win over Aston Villa at home on Tuesday night.

    Declan Rice expectedly returns in the heart of the midfield after recovering from a minor knee injury. He has replaced Mikel Merino in the number eight role.

    Meanwhile, there is a double surprise in attack with Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli coming in on the right and left wing respectively.

    Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard start the game on the bench. 

    Confirmed Arsenal line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Bournemouth: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Hincapie; Zubimendi, Rice; Madueke, Odegaard, Martinelli; Gyokeres.

    Arsenal lost both meetings against Bournemouth last season, and have the opportunity to make amends by beating them this time around.
