WATCH BOURNEMOUTH vs ARSENAL LIVE

The Cherries had a rocky start to the season under Andoni Iraola and their performances deserved more points. They somehow lost at Leicester before the international break as Bournemouth dominated many games but were not determined enough. The trio of Antoine Semenyo, Justin Kluivert and Evanilson are so dangerous and it’s only a matter of time before the goals come.

Arsenal were ruthless as their squad was stretched to the limit, but had a great week of home wins before the international break Champions League against PSG And in the Premier League against Southampton This underlines that this squad is stronger now. Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz put in excellent performances in Martin Odegaard’s absence, while the trio of David Raya, Gabriel and William Saliba were great defensively. The Gunners are just a point off the top of the table this weekend and a win at Bournemouth would take them top before City and Liverpool face off on Sunday.

Bournemouth focus, team news

Tyler Adams is set to return after suffering a back injury over the summer. The USMNT captain is back in training with Bournemouth and could come off the bench as his long injury nightmare is almost over. Aside from that, the Cherries are injury-free and will continue with their very solid line-up, with Semenyo, Kluivert and Tavernier tasked with supporting lone striker Evanilson, who is slowly finding his feet in the Premier League.

Arsenal focus, team news

The injury problems remain serious for Arsenal with Odegaard, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Keiran Tierney definitely out. There are also doubts about Ben White (who missed the win against Southampton), Gabriel Martinelli, Jurrien Timber, Thomas Partey, Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz (who did not play for Germany during the international break). All of this means Arteta will rely heavily on Raya, Gabriel and Saliba to hold the defense together, with Calafiori starting at left-back and perhaps Tomiyasu at right-back. If Havertz and Saka are not ready to start, Sterling and Jesus will start. With a busy schedule coming up in three different competitions next month, the Arsenal squad is stretched to the limit.

Bournemouth vs Arsenal prediction

This feels like a game where Bournemouth will cause Arsenal problems, but the Gunners’ resilience is absolutely astonishing. Expect them to pull it off somehow. Bournemouth 1-2 Arsenal.
