Arsenal v Bournemouth Preview

Arsenal’s Form

Arsenal lead the way at the top of the table (at least until City play their game in hand) on 80 points as they look to claim their first Premier League triumph since their 04/05 invincible season. There is plenty of balance to this Arsenal side too with their 85 goals scored and their 28 conceded the best in both respective categories this season.

Arsenal have won three successive league games including a 5-0 demolition of Chelsea along with a dramatic 2-3 victory against another London rival in Tottenham last weekend. The Gunners rode their luck accumulating an XG of 1.51 to Tottenham’s 2.6 but got the win their title credentials required.

Nothing but a victory will suffice in this tight race for Premier League glory.

Bournemouth’s Form

Bournemouth have built on their 15th-place finish last season to currently occupy 10th spot on the table with 3 games remaining in their league season. A top-half finish could be on the cards for Andoni Iraola’s side. Interestingly the statistics put them even a stronger position in 7th place on the table.

Last weekend Bournemouth had a deserved 3-0 victory over Brighton having created an XG of 2.48 to Brighton’s 1.36. It was clinical finishing from Senesi, Unal and Kluivert that notched them the 3 points. That win made it 2 on the spin and 7 points from their last 5 league games

Bournemouth could rise to 8th with a shock win.

Key Players To Watch

Kai Havertz – Arsenal

An interesting case, the German since signing from Chelsea last summer for a reported fee of £65 million has been often criticised for his performances and justifying the fee. However, he grabbed a brace against Chelsea on Tuesday to take his total for the season to 13 Goals and 6 Assists from 48 Games including a goal and an assist against Tottenham last weekend. Havertz also offers great endeavour and defence from the front, which is critical to Arsenal’s style of play.

Dominic Solanke – Bournemouth

The former Liverpool and Chelsea striker Solanke (26) is finally coming into his own this season after arguably having plenty of unfulfilled potential at Premier League level. This season in 39 matches across all competitions he has 20 goals and 4 assists, and he will be their primary threat come Saturday.

Arsenal v Bournemouth Prediction & Best Bet

Prediction: Arsenal 2-0 Bournemouth

Nothing but a win will suffice for Arsenal as they look to pile the pressure on City, a draw could even prove catastrophic for their Premier League title chances.

Bournemouth have very little to play for and so it remains to be seen whether they will fall off in the final few weeks of the season or push on further up the table.

There is far more on the line for Arsenal here and I think they will win comfortably.

Best Bet: Havertz First Goalscorer @ 7/2
