Arsenal host Bournemouth as they look to cement their position at the top of the table despite several injury concerns. As the hosts want this win more than the visitors, we predict a 1-0 home win. The Gunners are expected to be without Eberechi Eze, Mikel Merino, Piero Hincapie, Bukayo Saka, and Jurrien Timber, but Mikel Arteta still has depth to rely on. Arsenal have been strong overall, collecting 2.00 points per game from their last 10 matches, while at home they win 75% of games and concede just 0.75 goals per match. Their attacking output remains solid at 1.7 goals per game, supported by an xG of 1.80.Bournemouth sit 13th but remain in the hunt for European spots, showing resilience with 1.60 points per game.
Their away form has been particularly impressive, earning 1.80 points per game while conceding just 0.4 goals on average and keeping clean sheets in 60% of those matches. However, they score only 1.0 goal per away game, which could limit their threat against a strong Arsenal side. Historically, Arsenal dominate this fixture, winning 13 of 19 meetings.
