The Arsenal title bid takes another big step forward this Saturday, as they travel to Bournemouth – chasing another important three points. Mikel Arteta’s side have had to dig deep in the Premier League of late and have lacked their usual fluency, but they continue to pick up results in every game they play. Hosts Bournemouth are still searching for their best form, but they tend to enjoy taking on the bigger boys at home and they will be bang up for this.

Bournemouth vs Arsenal Analysis
A game like this will be good on the eye and it should also be keenly tracked by both punters and EPL betting sites.
Bournemouth
Losing at Leicester City last time out will frustrate Bournemouth and their fans, especially following their thumping 3-1 win over Southampton the week before. The Cherries remain one of the toughest sides to play against in the Premier League, but their lack of consistency always makes them awkward to come up against and to deal with. They enjoy playing at home and whilst Arsenal are formidable visitors, Bournemouth will be up for the challenge.
Team news: Tyler Adams remains out of action for Bournemouth here.
Bournemouth Predicted Lineup:
Kepa, Smith, Senesi, Kerkez, Zabaryni, Cook, Christie, Tavernier, Semenyo, Kluivert & Evanilson.
Arsenal
It has been dramatic stuff that has salvaged points for Arsenal against both Southampton and Leicester City in recent weeks, but Mikel Arteta will be enthused by the fact his side have pulled a result out of the bag each time. Arsenal look to be in the title scrap with both Liverpool and Manchester City and a three-horse race is already being dubbed by many punters and Premier League betting sites. It is games such as this that define a season though and Arsenal will need to be on their mettle here.
Team news: Takehiro Tomiyasu and Martin Odegaard look set to miss out here for the Gunners.
Arsenal Predicted Lineup:
Raya, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori, Rice, Partey, Jorginho, Trossard, Saka & Havertz.
Bournemouth vs Arsenal Prediction
This should be a fantastic contest on the south coast, between two sides who need points for differing reasons in this campaign. Bournemouth will want to put on a show for their home support and bounce back from defeat last time out but Arsenal are a very good side, with plenty of resources at their disposal and they should pick up another win on their travels here.
Prediction: Arsenal to win the match – 6/10 (-160) – Rhino Bet.
Bournemouth vs Arsenal – The Ultimate Bet
Arsenal to win and BTTS – 5/2 (+250) – Fitzdares
Arsenal’s defence hasn’t had its usual sense of invincibility this season, something that will enthuse Bournemouth but the Gunners will be able to step it up and score more than the Cherries if they need to.
