Jefferson Lerma - Out with injuryLerma was not involved in Saturday's defeat against Arsenal due to an undisclosed injury, Bournemouth manager Gary O'Neil told the Bournemouth Daily Echo after the game.
ImpactLerma "felt some tightness" after last weekend's loss to Manchester City and was ruled out of the Arsenal game on Saturday, the first time this season in which he's been unavailable for a Premier League match. Joe Rothwell replaced him in midfield, but Lerma will hope to return by the Liverpool clash next weekend.

Oleksandr Zinchenko - Impactful playmaker in winZinchenko fired three shots (none accurate), placed six crosses (none accurate) and engaged in four tackles in Saturday's 3-2 defeat of Bournemouth.
ImpactZinchenko's fantasy point score did not do his performance on Saturday justice. He was one of the Gunner's key playmakers, harrowing the Cherries defense around the edge of the penalty area and getting the ball into his strikers. He had the most touches in the game (118) with 90% passing accuracy.The defender has made 19 appearances (18 starts), scored once, delivered two assists and has contributed to two clean sheets.

Ben White - Scores first goal of seasonWhite scored from his only shot-on-target in Saturday's 3-2 win over Bournemouth.
ImpactWhite came on after 46 for Takehiro Tomiyasu. The defender scored his first of the season with a well-taken strike that keeper Neto punched clear but was correctly adjudged to have been over the goal line. It was an otherwise uneventful game for the 22-year-old who managed just one clearance in defensive actions. From 26 appearances (24 starts) he has also contributed two assists and delivered seven clean sheets.

Thomas Partey - Scores in five goal thrillerPartey scored from his only shot-on-target in Saturday's 3-2 victory over Bournemouth.
ImpactPartey scored his first goal since October on Saturday. The regular starting midfielder was effective in neutralizing a number of Bournemouth's few attacking moves, but apart from his goal he was not a material contributor to the Gunner's attack. The regular starter has now scored three goals.
