The Premier League is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Bournemouth lock horns with Mikel Arteta's Arsenal side in an intriguing encounter at Vitality Stadium on Saturday. Arsenal have been impressive this season and hold the upper hand going into this game.
Bournemouth vs Arsenal Preview
Arsenal are in third place in the Premier League standings and have been in excellent form this season. The Gunners eased past Southampton by a comfortable 3-1 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
Bournemouth, on the other hand, are in 13th place in the league table and have not been at their best this season. The Cherries slumped to a shock 1-0 defeat at the hands of Leicester City last week and will need to bounce back in this match.
Bournemouth vs Arsenal Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Arsenal have an excellent record against Bournemouth and have won 13 out of the 16 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to Bournemouth's paltry one victory.
- Bournemouth have lost 11 of their 14 matches against Arsenal in the Premier League - the three games where they have managed to avoid defeat have been played out at the Vitality Stadium.

Bournemouth vs Arsenal Prediction
Arsenal have been in impressive form under Mikel Arteta but will need to take it up a notch to keep pace with Liverpool and Manchester City in the title race. Kai Havertz has shown marked improvement during his time with the Gunners and will look to add to his goal tally in this fixture.
Bournemouth have stepped up under Andoni Iraola but will likely be out of their depth on Saturday. Arsenal are the better team on paper and should be able to win this game.
