The midfield will be occupied by Edson Álvarez, starting his third Premier League game since returning from suspension at the end of November.

He will be joined by Coufal’s compatriot Tomáš Souček, who scored the opening goal in last week’s win over Wolves, taking his Premier League tally to 31 in 173 top-flight appearances.

The midfield is completed by Spanish international Carlos Soler, who is still hoping for his first goal for the club after his loan move from Paris Saint-Germain at the end of August.

While Bowen will start at the front in the absence of Michail Antonio, who continues to recover in hospital after a car accident on Saturday December 7th, Mohammed Kudus and Paquetá will patrol the wings.

Ghanaian star Kudus makes his 50th start in all competitions for the Irons, while Brazilian Paquetá returns to the starting XI after being named as a substitute in the last two top-flight games.

Łukasz Fabiański is in goal for the eighth Premier League game in a row. The 39-year-old is aiming for his 93rd clean sheet in the top flight in his 371st Premier League appearance for Arsenal, Swansea City and West Ham.

On the bench are goalkeeper Alphonse Areola, young defenders Ollie Scarles and Kaelan Casey, midfielders Andy Irving, Lewis Orford and Luis Guilherme, winger Summerville and strikers Danny Ings and Niclas Füllkrug.

Bournemouth will be without defenders Marcos Senesi (thigh), Marcus Tavernier (thigh), Alex Scott (knee), Luis Sinisterra (thigh) and Julian Araujo (thigh).
