1) Missing Saka
The winger has 3 goals and 7 assists in 10 appearances this season so his absence was always going to be keenly felt at the Vitality Stadium.
Saka missed the match with a minor hamstring injury, with Arteta saying that he didn’t want to risk his fitness.
His replacement Raheem Sterling actually started the game against the Cherries pretty well but he had to be sacrificed after William Saliba’s sending-off.
The main question now is when Saka will return to action, with the Liverpool fixture just around the corner.
