Bournemouth vs. Arsenal Head-to-Head

Bournemouth dominated the meetings between these sides last season, winning home and away against the Gunners. However, Arsenal have still won eleven of the last 16 league meetings between the teams.

Game Preview

It has been a productive festive period for Arsenal in the Premier League title race. The Gunners moved clear at the summit following a 4-1 win over Aston Villa in midweek. That result was even more important after Man City dropped points at Sunderland.

The Gunners have scored in 15 of the last 16 meetings between these sides, and they have also excelled in their first match of a calendar year, winning seven of their last ten. Arsenal’s overall form is also extremely eye-catching, having suffered just one defeat in their last 16 fixtures.

It has been a contrasting period for Bournemouth, who look set to lose one of their star players in the winter transfer window with Semenyo’s move to Man City edging closer. The Cherries played out an entertaining 2-2 draw with Chelsea in midweek, but they are now winless in their last ten.

The Cherries also have a poor record against teams starting the day at the top of the standings, losing 12 of their last 13. Confidence could be gained from their home record, as Bournemouth have lost just two of their last 13 at the Vitality Stadium.

Bournemouth vs. Arsenal Picks

The Cherries will likely be without their star man, Semenyo, this weekend, which makes it very challenging to overlook the prospect of a Gunners win. Arsenal could claim victory to nil at the Vitality Stadium.
