Gunners back in action after international break
Arsenal are offered the chance to pile the pressure onto Manchester City and Liverpool in the Premier League this weekend.
Of the three early-season front-runners, the Gunners are up first on Saturday when they travel down to Bournemouth.
Mikel Arteta’s side are still unbeaten this season, having come from behind to beat Southampton 3-1 before the international break.
Three points against a Cherries side who recently lost to newly-promoted Leicester would see them move top of the pile – albeit for only a few hours at least.
Here’s everything you need to know about the game.
Bournemouth vs Arsenal is scheduled for a 5.30pm kick-off time on Saturday 19 October 2024.
The Vitality Stadium (Dean Court) in Bournemouth will host.
TV channel: The game will be broadcast on Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Ultra HDR.
Live stream: Subscribers will be able to watch on a live stream via the Sky Go app.

The only real concern for the Cherries is Tyler Adams, who may be eased back into action.
Arsenal, meanwhile, saw Bukayo Saka pull out of the England squad after taking a knock to his leg against Greece and the winger will be assessed.

Martin Odegaard is also not likely to feature as he recovers from an ankle injury sustained last month.
Gabriel Martinelli will need to be assessed after missing Brazil’s win over Peru with a calf issue.
The first game after an international break can be a slog but the Gunners look in fine form right now.
