AFC Bournemouth
Bournemouth boss Parker said during Thursday's press conference that he would make a late call on Dominic Solanke, who was absent against Man City last weekend due to a foot injury.
The striker has been described as a "maybe" by his manager, but the Cherries will definitely be without summer signings Ryan Fredericks and Joe Rothwell through injury.
New addition Marcos Senesi is in line to make his first for the club, though, while Jordan Zemura is available for selection after recovering from COVID-19.
Bournemouth possible starting lineup:
Travers; Lerma, Senesi, Kelly; Smith, Cook, Billing, Zemura; Tavernier, Moore, Solanke
Arsenal
As for Arsenal, Reiss Nelson will again be unavailable for selection due to a hamstring problem, while Fabio Vieira, who played for the Under-21s on Wednesday, is not yet ready to make his first-team debut.
The Gunners are otherwise in excellent shape, and it would not be a surprise to see Arteta keep faith with the starting XI that have impressed in the early stages of the new season.
As a result, Ben White is set to continue at right-back, while Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard and Martinelli are again in line to support Jesus, leaving Emile Smith Rowe on the bench.
Arsenal possible starting lineup:
Ramsdale; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Thomas, Xhaka; Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli; Jesus
Prediction: Bournemouth 1-2 Arsenal
