Arsenal travel to draw specialists Bournemouth looking to build on a potentially key victory in their hunt for a first Premier League title since 2004 .
The Gunners brought Aston Villa ’s 11 -match winning streak to an emphatic end on Tuesday with a crushing 4-1 victory at the Emirates .
That saw Arsenal move six points clear of third-placed Villa and arguably reduce the title race to a straight shootout between Mikel Arteta ’s pacesetters and Manchester City .
On paper, Arsenal should pick up another three-point haul on Saturday against a team 14 places and 22 points worse off than them, but they will know better than to underestimate Bournemouth .
Arsenal only lost four times in the Premier League last season, and two of them were at the hands of the Cherries .
However, we can’t see Arsenal slipping up again at the Vitality Stadium and we’re predicting an away win with under 3.5 goals in total @ 11/8.

Form Guides
Bournemouth Form Guide
Bournemouth are 15th and without a win since October but they will take confidence from Tuesday’s 2-2 draw at Chelsea .
That was a fourth draw in five matches for Andoni Iraola ’s side and an eighth of the season in total – the most in the Premier League .
Bournemouth also have more pressing concerns than the possibility of going down, and that is the future of sought-after forward Antoine Semenyo .
The Ghana international looks likely to leave in the next fortnight and he will be keen to go out on a high, and you can get odds of 9/4 for him to score for a fourth successive game.
Antoine Semenyo to score anytime @ 9/4
Arsenal Form Guide
Arsenal head to Merseyside boasting 19 wins from 24 games and top of the Premier League and Champions League , but life away from the Emirates has not been so comfortable recently.
They have picked up only two points from their last three away games in the Premier League , at Sunderland , Chelsea and Aston Villa , and conceded first in each of them.
Arsenal to draw after trailing at half-time against Everton is 16/1 , and the power they can call on from the bench means the Gunners are likely to be a goal threat right to the end.
That also brings BOYLE Sports ’ Sub Swap feature into play. For example, if you back Viktor Gyokeres ( 9/2 ), Bukayo Saka ( 6/1 ) or Leandro Trossard ( 6/1 ) for first goalscorer and they are replaced with the game still scoreless then that bet would switch to his replacement – with attackers Gabriel Jesus , Eze , Madueke , Martinelli or Merino all having started on the Gunners bench against Everton .
Viktor Gyokeres first goalscorer @ 9/2
Bukayo Saka first goalscorer @ 6/1
Leandro Trossard first goalscorer @ 6/1
