Arsenal will be raring to go on their return to Premier League action following the international break, with a trip to Bournemouth on the cards.
The Gunners went into the October break on the back of four consecutive wins in all competitions, and they remain unbeaten this season.
Arsenal, who currently sit third in the Premier League table, are set to take on a Bournemouth side that has suffered from inconsistency so far this season.
The Cherries lost their last game before the international break, falling to a 1-0 loss at Leicester City, and currently sit 13th in the standings.
Chris Sutton has now given his prediction as to how Bournemouth and Arsenal will fare in the 5:30pm kick-off at the Vitality Stadium.
Chris Sutton predicts Arsenal draw at Bournemouth
Sutton, writing on BBC Sport, went for a bold prediction, backing the Cherries to pick up a point in a 1-1 draw against Arsenal.
He has an inkling that it could be a “different story” with regards to the hosts’ chances, and says he wouldn’t be surprised if the Gunners “come unstuck”.
“This is another game I am really looking forward to,” wrote Sutton.
“Arsenal have got a few injury issues to deal with, including Bukayo Saka, who limped off with a hamstring injury during England’s defeat by Greece.
“He is in my Fantasy team so I am hoping he will be fit, and so will all Gunners fans.
“Kai Havertz and Gabriel Martinelli are also injury doubts, while Martin Odegaard is still sidelined.
“But we know that the Gunners can still grind out results even if they are missing some of their best attacking players.
“They have an excellent defence, which is behind this habit they have of always finding a way to get a result, but this time I would not be surprised if they came unstuck.
“Bournemouth always create chances, whoever they play against. The Cherries’ issue has been that they have not always taken those opportunities… but Saturday could be a different story.”
