Arsenal will be without William Saliba for one of its biggest Premier League matches of the season.
On Oct. 19, Saliba became the third Arsenal player to receive a controversial red card in the Premier League this season. The center-back tangled with Bournemouth's Evanilson as the striker looked to be through on goal, prompting a swift yellow card from referee Rob Jones. Upon a VAR review, though, the official changed his decision and sent Saliba off with a straight red card in the 30th minute.
The red card was the first of Saliba's career and led to a disastrous 2–0 defeat to the Cherries that put Arsenal four points off Liverpool atop the EPL table. Now, the Frenchman must serve his suspension, leaving Mikel Arteta without one of his most reliable players.
