Mikel Arteta has been given advice in the Premier League run-in

Following a dramatic late victory in Lisbon on Tuesday evening, Arsenal will resume Premier League duties against Bournemouth on Saturday. Mikel Arteta welcomed back several players for the triumph over Sporting CP and may face tough selection choices during the crucial final stretch.

Kai Havertz emerged from the substitutes' bench to net the decisive strike in midweek and he's not the only player staking a claim for a starting berth against the Cherries. Teenage prodigy Max Dowman has already demonstrated he can compete with Premier League defences and there's been considerable demand for him to feature more regularly.

Arteta will face numerous crucial decisions for those pivotal matches and some guidance has come his way. Here, the Daily Star Sport looks at the latest updates.
