BOU vs ARS Dream11 Match Prediction: Bournemouth and Arsenal will be locking horns for the very first time in FA Cup history as both sides look to advance to the next stages. The pair have already squared off twice in the Premier League this season, with Arsenal coming out on top in October through a 1-0 win, followed by a 1-1 draw last month.
Match Details
Date- Tuesday, January 28
Kick-Off- 1:30 AM (IST)
Venue- Dean Court
Bournemouth
Head coach, Eddie Howe will be without defender Charlie Daniels as well as midfield David Brooks in the upcoming FA Cup tie. Arnaut Danjuma, Jordan Ibe, Joshua Kinga, Chris Mepham, Jack Stacey and Junior Stanislas are also on the sidelines for the hosts.
Arsenal
Pierre Emerick Aubameyang serves his final match-day celebration. Kieran Tierney and Calum Chambers are ruled out due to injuries. With David Luiz also undergoing suspension, Rob Holding should be fitting in at central midfield. Matteo Guendouzi, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Emiliano Martinez could all be getting starts.
BOU (Expected Playing 11)- Boruc; Francis, Mepham, Simpson, Rico; H. Wilson, Cook, Gosling, Fraser; Solanke, Wilson.
ARS (Expected Playing 11)- Martinez; Maitland-Niles, Holding, Mustafi, Saka; Guendouzi, Willock; Pepe, Ozil, Martinelli; Lacazette.
Bournemouth’s Callum Wilson has bagged three goals from the last six games against Arsenal and would once again be eager to cause some damage against the Gunners.
Gabriel Martinelli has come in like a breath of fresh air for Arsenal. The 18-year-old has 10 goals to his tally which makes him the first teenager since Nicolas Anelka to get in the double figures.
Harry Wilson has seven goals and a pass accuracy of 78.5% from 1212 minutes in the league for Bournemouth.
Nicolas Pepe can be vital for Arsenal on the opposition box. Pepe has three goals, three assists and a pass accuracy of 79.8% from 1345 minutes in the Premier League this season.
The game could go right down the wire and a draw seems like a possible outcome.
