While it\u2019s a quieter-than-usual Saturday of Premier League football, there\u2019s plenty to interest Fantasy managers today.<\/p>\n

New FPL darlings Brighton and Hove Albion are up later, while Liverpool and Brentford are both at home.<\/p>\n

First up, though, is Arsenal v Bournemouth, which kicks off at 12:30 BST.<\/p>\n

TEAM NEWS<\/p>\n

The Gunners are still without Bukayo Saka and Jurrien Timber, while Riccardo Calafiori and Martin Odegaard are fresh casualties from midweek.<\/p>\n

Eberechi Eze and Piero Hincapie are back from injury and among the substitutes, however.<\/p>\n

There are three changes from Tuesday\u2019s UEFA Champions League win over Sporting CP.<\/p>\n

Myles Lewis-Skelly and Kai Havertz come in for Calafiori and Odegaard, while there\u2019s also an alteration on the left wing as Gabriel Martinelli gets the nod over the benched Leandro Trossard.<\/p>\n

Gabriel Magalhaes and Declan Rice, who recovered from minor issues to feature against Sporting, start as expected.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a long time since Bournemouth last played a competitive match. Over three weeks, in fact, when they salvaged a late draw against Manchester United.<\/p>\n

Andoni Iraola makes just one change to the side he sent out then, with Eli Junior Kroupi coming in for Amine Adli.<\/p>\n

That alteration will see Marcus Tavernier move to a wider role.<\/p>\n

Tyler Adams is fit again and makes the visitors\u2019 bench.<\/p>\n

LINE-UPS<\/p>\n

Arsenal XI:\u00a0Raya, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly, Rice, Zubimendi, Havertz, Martinelli, Madueke, Gyokeres.<\/p>\n

Subs: Arrizabalaga, Mosquera, Hincapie, Jesus, Eze, Norgaard, Trossard, Dowman, Salmon.<\/p>\n

Bournemouth XI: Petrovic, Jimenez, Senesi, Hill, Truffert, Christie, Scott, Tavernier, Kroupi, Rayan, Evanilson.<\/p>\n
