Things are starting to look good once again for Arsenal. After overcoming their mini-blip, the Gunners are in a three-match winning run in the league.
Arsenal will be eager to maintain their good run of late when they welcome a struggling Bournemouth side to Emirates Stadium for a Premier League contest. This Saturday evening clash will see two sides sitting at contrasting ends of the table going against each other. The Gunners overcame their recent blip to start another winning run, while the visitors are struggling big time. Placed in the bottom three places, Bournemouth have a lot to do to move out of the dreaded relegation zone.
However, it will not be easy to get anything out of the game against in-form league leaders Arsenal. The relegation-threatened visitors have won only one of their last five Premier League games. In their last league match, Bournemouth were thumped 4-1 by Manchester City. On the other hand, things are starting to look good once again for Arsenal. After overcoming their mini-blip the Gunners are in a three-match winning run in the league.
In their most recent match, Arsenal demolished Everton 4-0 in midweek. That result has extended their lead at the top of the table to defending champions and second placed Manchester City. In the Premier League table, the Gunners are sitting comfortably at the top with 60 points from 25 games – five points more than Man City. On the other hand, Bournemouth are placed second from bottom with 21 points from 24 matches.
