Bournemouth v Arsenal

Striker Benik Afobe will be available for Bournemouth after opting not to play for DR Congo at this month's Africa Cup of Nations.

However, on-loan Jack Wilshere is ineligible against his parent club and Marc Pugh remains an injury doubt.

Arsenal could be without midfielder Mesut Ozil, who missed the win over Crystal Palace through illness.

Mohamed Elneny is at the Africa Cup of Nations, while Theo Walcott and Kieran Gibbs could miss out through injury.
