Arsenal vs Bournemouth Match Preview

• Arsenal bagged ten goals in the last three Premier League wins.
• The Gunners have won all of the previous six home outings against Bournemouth.
• Kai Havertz bagged three goals in the last two league fixtures for Arsenal.

Arsenal will continue their title pursuit on Saturday afternoon. Mikel Arteta’s men host mid-table Bournemouth in the first game of the day at Emirates Stadium. The hosts are chasing their fourth straight league win following successes against Wolves, Chelsea, and Spurs.

The Gunners have been firing on all cylinders of late. They notched ten goals in the last three league affairs. Arteta’s experiment with Kai Havertz as a “false 9” has functioned perfectly over the last several months. The German delivered a goal and an assist last weekend in the North London derby. He already has 12 goals to his name in this term of the Premier League.

Bournemouth will also come into this on a high. They destroyed Brighton 3-0 in the last weekend’s clash at Vitality Stadium. Head coach Andoni Iraola can be thrilled with the performances his men have put up in the last two rounds. The Cherries have kept back-to-back clean sheets along the way.

Recent Meetings

• Arsenal have been the dominant side in the history of this matchup. They won 11, drew 2, and lost just 1 of the last 14 clashes with the Cherries.
• The Gunners stormed past Bournemouth in the return game played in September last year. Mikel Arteta’s men won 4-0 at Vitality Stadium on the occasion.
• Arsenal scored at least three goals in each of the previous three meetings with the Gunners.
