Arsenal will be looking to build on a morale-boosting draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge when they travel to Bournemouth in tonight's FA Cup fourth-round tie.

The Gunners twice came from behind to earn a point against Chelsea, despite playing most of the game with 10 men, and will be looking to better the 1-1 draw they managed at the Vitality in Mikel Arteta's first game in charge, on Boxing Day.

Date: Monday, January 27th, 2020

Venue: Vitality Stadium

Kick-off time: 8pm GMT

Prediction: Bournemouth 1-2 Arsenal

With the best part of a week between fixtures, Mikel Arteta is likely to name a strong team, who should have enough to get past a Bournemouth side who are understandably preoccupied with a Premier League relegation battle.

Team news

Arsenal will be without both Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and David Luiz as they serve red card suspensions, but Mikel Arteta could have Sokratis back after he missed the Chelsea game through illness.

With Sead Kolasinac and Kieran Tierney still out injured, Bukayo Saka is likely to continue to deputise at left-back. Dani Ceballos is available for selection, despite reports suggesting his loan could be terminated early.

Predicted Arsenal XI (4-2-3-1): Martinez, Maitland-Niles, Sokratis, Holding, Kolasinac; Xhaka, Guendouzi; Nelson, Ozil, Martinelli; Lacazette
