Arsenal v Bournemouth

Arsenal vs Bournemouth Preview

Arsenal eventually came through their north London derby against Tottenham unscathed with a 3-2 win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium but The Gunners had to endure a nervy last few minutes in order to claim the three points, while Bournemouth also collected all three points with a resounding 3-0 home win against south coast visitors Brighton last weekend, so both teams will be keen to continue their winning momentum here in Saturday lunchtime's clash at the Emirates Stadium.

The 3-2 win over their north London rivals last weekend became Arsenal's third league win on the trot in the English top flight which included previous wins against Wolves and Chelsea in 2-0 and 5-0 victories respectively which has helped maintain Arsenal's place at the top of the Premier League table.

With just three games remaining of this season's campaign, Arsenal look to have learnt from the harsh lesson handed out to them towards the end of last season by eventual title-winners Manchester City as The Gunners have suffered just the one defeat out of their last 15 matches overall.

Within this excellent sequence of results Arsenal have picked up no fewer than 13 wins in the process while on home soil, Mikel Arteta's side have registered six wins out of their last seven games in their own backyard, so the hosts will be in supremely confident mood heading into this encounter.

Bournemouth recorded an impressive 3-0 home win over Brighton at their Vitality Stadium last weekend in the Premier League which made it back-to-back wins for The Cherries as the south coast club had previously earned a 1-0 win away from home at Wolves in the game beforehand.

Bournemouth now sit in the relative comfort of a mid-table position of 10th place in the Premier league table and although Andoni Iraola's side have managed to capture just six wins from their previous 17 league matches overall, nevertheless these victories have helped The Cherries avoid being dragged down into the relegation battle below them.

Four of Bournemouth's six defeats within these 17 games have been inflicted upon the visitors on their travels by way of defeats at the likes of Tottenham, Fulham, Luton Town and Aston Villa respectively whilst picking up just two of their aforementioned six wins on the road as well.

Wins on the road at Burnley and Wolves have been Bournemouth's only highlights in their last eight outings on their travels which also include slipping to four defeats in the process, while goals have also featured in Bournemouth's games this season as 24 of their 35 games to date have resulted in Over 2.5 goals.
