4-3-3 Arsenal Predicted Lineup Against Bournemouth:
Defense:
Arsenal are expected to line up in a 4-3-3 with Aaron Raya between the sticks, bringing composure and sharp distribution. The back four will feature Ben White and Kieran Tierney at full-back, with William Saliba and Jakub Kiwior in the middle. Saliba offers calm under pressure, while White’s adaptability adds balance. Kiwior brings strength, and Tierney’s forward runs offer width. This backline will aim to manage Bournemouth’s pace and keep transitions tight and controlled.
Midfield:
In midfield, Arsenal should field a trio of Martin Ødegaard, Thomas Partey, and Oleksandr Zinchenko. Ødegaard’s creativity and movement will be key in unlocking Bournemouth’s defense, while Partey holds the midfield with strength and smart distribution. Zinchenko adds a technical edge, drifting into central areas to keep play fluid. Together, they will look to control the tempo, break Bournemouth’s press, and provide a platform for Arsenal’s attackers to shine.
Attack:
Up front, Arsenal could go with Ethan Nwaneri, Leandro Trossard, and Raheem Sterling. Nwaneri adds a fearless spark with his youthful flair, while Trossard’s intelligent movement and eye for goal give Arsenal a cutting edge. Sterling brings pace and experience, especially dangerous out wide. Their ability to rotate positions and combine fluidly will be key to breaking down Bournemouth’s defense, with a focus on exploiting space and creating one-on-one opportunities.
