Bournemouth head to the Emirates Stadium to take on Arsenal in the Premier League on Saturday, with the Cherries aiming to remain in contention for a Europa League ticket with a win over the Gunners, who will have an eye on the trip to Paris in midweek for a must-win Champions League clash at PSG.
Match Odds
Prediction
The 2-0 loss in the reverse fixture earlier this season in October 2024 was the first time Bournemouth beat Arsenal in the Premier League, with the Gunners winning six of the last eight league meetings against the Cherries.
Arsenal have also won all eight home games against Bournemouth, who head into this ninth meeting against the Gunners in London with just a win in their last nine league matches. That’s why we have our money on Arsenal to win or draw.

Thomas Partey is available after missing the first leg Champions League semi-final loss to PSG through suspension, though Kai Havertz, Riccardo Calafiori and Jorginho remain unavailable as they continue their recovery from injuries.
Andoni Iraola has no new injuries or suspended players in his squad, meaning Evanilson is available after the Bournemouth striker saw his red card against Manchester United last weekend overturned during the week after an appeal by the club.
