Arsenal handed huge boost ahead of Bournemouth clash

Arsenal have been handed a huge boost with Jurrien Timber in contention to face Bournemouth in the Premier League tomorrow.

The Gunners are currently top of the league with 80 points, but they are only one ahead of Manchester City who have a game in hand.

Hence, they are not in control of their title destiny and have the chance to pile the pressure on the Cityzens with another three points.

Ahead of the game, Arteta has confirmed that he has a full squad at his disposal. Timber is set to make his return to the matchday squad.

The Dutchman has been out of action since August after a serious knee injury, but he could make a cameo off the bench against the Cherries.

Arteta is likely to name an unchanged starting XI for tomorrow's early kick-off. City host Wolves at the Etihad Stadium in the late kick-off.

If Pep Guardiola's side were to drop points against the Midlands outfit, the Gunners could be in pole position in the title race with a victory.
