Bournemouth v Arsenal

Bournemouth vs Arsenal Preview

Bournemouth slipped to a third defeat in four games before the international break when The Cherries suffered a 1-0 loss away from home at Leicester City, while Arsenal registered a comprehensive 3-1 home win against lowly Southampton before the break and The Gunners will be seeking a third league win on the trot on Saturday evening.

Previous losses against Chelsea and Liverpool along with the aforementioned defeat to Leicester City have overshadowed the south coast club's minimal success in recent times of a 3-1 home win against Premier League strugglers, Southampton, and having managed to pick up just two wins to date this season, Bournemouth look to be up against it here.

An earlier 3-2 win away from home at Everton have at least kept Bournemouth away from early trouble down near the foot of the Premier League table but The Cherries will do well to get anything from this upcoming fixture even though they hold home advantage.

The bigger picture shows Bournemouth have managed to claim just two wins from their last 10 league matches overall which also includes being handed six defeats, one of which was a heavy 3-0 loss away at Arsenal back in early May.

Onto Arsenal then and The Gunners will not only be going in search of a third league win on the trot down on the south coast at the Vitality Stadium, but also extend their unbeaten start to this new Premier League campaign to eight games as well.

Five wins within their opening seven games has once again given Arsenal a solid platform from which to launch another potential league title challenge having registered important early victories over the likes of Wolves, Aston Villa, Tottenham, Leicester City and Southampton respectively.

The north London club have also picked up points in draws with Brighton and Manchester City and it may just prove to be pivotal that Arsenal did not slip to defeat this time away from home at Manchester City!

The bigger picture shows Mikel Arteta's side are now unbeaten in each of their last 13 games in the English top flight and having recorded no fewer than 11 victories within this excellent period of results, the London visitors look set for further success in this upcoming clash at the Vitality Stadium.

In addition and to further underline their credentials in picking up all three points here, Arsenal have collected 10 wins out of their last 12 away games in the Premier League as well.

Bournemouth v Arsenal Verdict

Arsenal have won the last six meetings on the trot against Bournemouth and indeed, nine of the last 10 encounters, so The Gunners look set to grab another three points down on the south coast in this clash.
