Arsenal welcome Bournemouth to the Emirates as they look to rack up another win in their quest to win the Premier League, so let’s take a look at the latest team news.
The Gunners took their opportunity to increase the lead over Manchester City as they notched a commanding win over Everton. Now, they have another home fixture that they should in theory win in a similar fashion.
As for the team news, both Mohamed Elneny and Gabriel Jesus are still out but the latter could soon return to the first team fold. Eddie Nketiah limped off at full time in the midweek and is doubtful for this game as Arteta revealed that they are assessing the situation.
Jorginho has recovered and is fully fit for the Bournemouth game. Mikel Arteta has the ability to choose different combinations and that is great news for the club. With more games down the line, we could see some experimentation in the near future.
Arsenal Fever View:
It has been a long time since these two teams met and the north Londoners would be looking forward to another win. Bournemouth find themselves in a relegation fight and would be willing to give it their all.
Despite this, the hosts would feel confident of their chances given that the attack seems to be firing on all cylinders. With a raucous Emirates crowd, we can expect to see the home side dominant on the ball and hopefully they can score a few goals.
For the visitors, they do have some talented forwards but are finding it difficult to find the back of the net. The Cherries can string together some good moves and the Gunners need to ensure that they remain focused.
It is great news for the club that both Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli have reached double figures for goals in the league. That spreading of the scoring burden is a major reason behind this unlikely title challenge.
Arsenal have a great chance to notch up another win and they would be looking forward to that this weekend. The fans will hope that they get to see more of the free flowing attacking football that is becoming quite a common sight.
