Arsenal XI vs Bournemouth: Confirmed team news, starting lineup and injury latest for Premier League today

New signing Fabio Vieira is fully fit and available but has to wait to make his Arsenal debut as Mikel Arteta names his side to face Bournemouth.

The Portugal international, who joined the Gunners in the summer from Porto for £34million, has been struggling with a foot injury.

Vieira, however, played 45 minutes for Arsenal’s under-21s during the week and is now fit to face Bournemouth.

He is named on the bench, as Arteta opts for the same side that has started the season so well. That means Ben White and Oleksandr Zinchenko keep their place as the full-backs, with Kieran Tierney and Takehiro Tomiyasu on the bench.

William Saliba has made a strong start to the season, even with an own goal against Leicester, and he keeps his place alongside Gabriel and Arteta keeps faith in his starting XI.

Arsenal XI: Ramsdale, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Odegaard, Partey, Xhaka, Saka, Jesus, Martinelli

Subs: Turner, Tierney, Tomiyasu, Holding, Elneny, Lokonga, Vieira, Smith Rowe, Nketiah

Saturday 5.30pm GMT, Sky Sports

Venue: Vitality Stadium

Referee: Craig Pawson
