Arsenal vs Bournemouth Preview
The Premier League fixture of Arsenal vs Bournemouth holds the key in terms of the title race for the 2023-2024 season. Arsenal currently leads the race in terms of points in this season’s table over Man City and Liverpool. But things could change pretty quickly at this juncture of the season. So, Mikel Arteta would want his side to continue winning games till the tide swings in their favor.
The Gunners drubbed Tottenham by a scoreline of 2-3 in their previous league outing in a hot-tempered London derby. While another London derby in the form of Bournemouth awaits them this weekend, this promises to be a game where they are expected to take all three points.
On the other hand, Bournemouth have surprised quite a few people with their current form in the league. The Cherries are up to the 10th in this season’s table with consistent performances in recent times. Fresh off a 3-0 win over Brighton at the Vitality Stadium, they will be looking to play a spoil-sport in Arsenal’s title run at the Emirates.
