• Arsenal have won 11 of the 15 Premier League meetings between the two teams.
• Bournemouth have recorded 2 victories.
• The remaining 2 clashes ended in draws.
• Arsenal have won three of their last five games against the Cherries.
• Bournemouth are undefeated in their last four matches.
• The Gunners have not won any of their last two fixtures.

• Arsenal in all competitions: D-W-W-D-L
• Bournemouth in the League: L-D-W-D-D

Team News:

• Arsenal will be without the services of Kai Havertz, Jorginho, Gabriel Jesus, and three other players as they are injured.
• Ryan Christie, Luis Sinisterra, and Enes Unal are injured and will not be in action for Bournemouth.

Player(s) to watch:

• Bukayo Saka is going to play an important role in the attacking front for the Gunners. Bukayo Saka recently came back to the squad after his injury and still looks in good touch. With 16 goal involvements in 21 Premier League matches this season, Bukayo Saka has been a constant threat to the opponent’s defence.
• Justin Kluivert will be leading the attacking front for the Cherries. Bournemouth did not let Arsenal score any goals last time around and will be looking to do the same here. Kluivert scored one of the goals the last time against the Gunners. He is going to create some problems for Arsenal’s defence here.
