Arsenal could go as far as eight points ahead of Manchester City if results go their way on Saturday when they welcome a Bournemouth side struggling to get some consistency in their performances. Mikel Arteta goes into this weekend after watching his side thrash Everton 4-0 at home just a month after they were humbled at Goodison Park.
The Gunners go into this match as the favourites at 1/5 with Betfred while the Cherries are 14/1 longshots to produce a shock as they fight to avoid relegation this season and a draw is 11/2. The hosts have not lost at the Emirates in all six home meetings in all competitions with an impressive aggregate score of 17-2.
With Gabriel Jesus still out of action, Arteta will be looking towards Eddie Nketiah to lead the attack and is 11/10 to score anytime with Bukayo Saka (6/4) and Gabriel Martinelli (6/4) supporting on the wings. Their convincing win against Everton suggests Bournemouth could suffer a similar fate with over 2.5 goals from the Gunners priced at evens.
Gary O'Neill's side sit just a point from safety as they sit 19th in the table and have won five points from a possible 15 in their last five matches. They face Arsenal, Liverpool and Aston Villa before the international break before seven matches in April ending in a six-pointer against Leeds United.
