The Gunners have started their season with successive victories over Crystal Palace and Leicester City, while Bournemouth have beaten Aston Villa and lost to Manchester City in their first two fixtures.
Bournemouth were impressive on their return to Premier League action on August 6, recording a 2-0 win over Aston Villa
These are the type of matches that will determine whether Arsenal have what it takes to finish in the top four this season, and it should be a fascinating battle on Saturday. Bournemouth were impressive at home last time out against Villa, but we are expecting Arteta’s side to claim all three points courtesy of a narrow win.
The Gunners are otherwise in excellent shape, and it would not be a surprise to see Arteta keep faith with the starting XI that have impressed in the early stages of the new season.
