Arsenal came out as 3-2 winners over Bournemouth on Saturday with eyes now turning to the Premier League clash against Liverpool.
Arsenal have stretched their lead at the top of the Premier League after a huge victory over Bournemouth.
A goal from Gabriel Magalhaes and a double from Declan Rice saw the Gunners come out as 3-2 away winners over the Cherries at the Vitality Stadium. The win saw them move six points clear of second place Aston Villa.
That gap could, however, be closed slightly with Manchester City in action on Sunday afternoon.
For Arsenal, eyes will now turn to Thursday night’s clash against reigning Premier League champions Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium (8pm kick-off).
The game against Bournemouth saw Mikel Arteta’s side handed a major injury boost with Rice completing the full 90 minutes, after being an injury doubt for the game.
But will the Gunners be handed any more boosts ahead of the game against Liverpool? Here’s a look at the latest from the Arsenal treatment room.
