AFC Bournemouth-Arsenal

Bournemouth | LDDLL | 17th | Top Scorer: D. Solanke (3)

After a recent run of uninspiring performances and poor results, Bournemouth need points quickly if they're to move up the table. Bournemouth have struggled to stamp their authority on matches in recent weeks. They've averaged fewer shots and less possession than their opponents over the last 5 matches. Following recent struggles, Bournemouth will rely on Max Aarons' creativity for success in this match. With 9 passes into the box, he ranks 29th in the EPL.

Arsenal | DWWDW | 5th | Top Scorer: B. Saka (3)

Arsenal look to keep momentum here, as they are unbeaten in their last 6 games. Goal chances have been frequent, their last 5 matches average xG (expected goals) of 1.79 has been 6th highest in the league over that span. Bukayo Saka will be looking to keep up his fantastic distribution numbers after recording 21 passes into the box in his last 5.

Bournemouth-Arsenal Prediction: 1-4

All things considered, it looks possible that Arsenal could turn up and run riot here unless Bournemouth can come out the gates fast.
