1. Callum Wilson
Callum Wilson has been brilliant for Bournemouth in all games so far, and he is even giving competition to all the top strikers in the league so far by amassing 5 goals and 1 assist in his 7 Premier League appearances.
Undoubtedly, he is a crucial player for Bournemouth and made a significant impact for the Cherries in all the matches. He has 46% participation in all goals scored by Bournemouth this season, which states his brilliance.
Adding further, his goals are spread over 4 different matches out of 7, highlighting his consistency across all games in the Premier League. Hence, Wilson is the biggest threat to Arsenal in this game.
With struggling defence of Arsenal, Wilson as a primary scorer at Bournemouth is certain to make impact, and if things go wrong for the Gunners once again in defence, Wilson can surely make a huge effect.
2. Joshua King
The other reliable attacking option for Bournemouth is Joshua King, who has been phenomenal for the Cherries and is the second current top-scorer for them this season.
Although, his primary position is a striker but has been deputed on the left-wing, yet in 7 league games he has bagged 2 goals and 2 assists for Bournemouth, making him a vital asset for the team.
Moreover, he has 30% goal participation for Bournemouth and can exploit his wing with his blistering pace. With Sokratis giving a string of poor performances, the Norweigan striker can be a lethal force upfront.
Not to forget, King and Callum Wilson combine well upfront and has the ability to make Arsenal outpace. Thus, King is the other player in our list who can make a difference against Arsenal.
3. Harry Wilson
The star player on loan from Liverpool has gathered the admiration of fan instantly with his performances at the right-wing. The front three of Bournemouth is undoubtedly an underrated one in the Premier League and can cause damage on their given day.

Moreover, Wilson is also good at set-pieces, his splendid free-kick against Manchester City showed his skill in set-pieces. With Arsenal being erroneous in front of the 18-yard box, Arsenal has to watch out for him.
Thus, these are three players Emery should look out ahead of the game against Bournemouth at the Emirates on Sunday. the Gunners have already struggled against inferior sides, and the Cherries can be tricky at times.
