Arsenal vs Bournemouth Premier League Prediction Match Details
Saturday's Premier League matchday 35 games draw its curtain with a blockbuster game as Arsenal takes on Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium. Can the Cherries pull off a double victory against the Gunners?
Arsenal Preview & Form
Last weekend, Liverpool were officially crowned the Premier League champions, meaning the Gunners would finish the season as a runner-up for the third successive season in a row. The last time out in the league, Mikel Arteta's men were held to a 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium for the third time in five Premier League games, with the result leaving the Gunners 15 points behind league leader Liverpool at the summit of the table. The Gunners' main focus will now be on winning the Champions League, but they suffered a 1-0 defeat in the first leg of the semifinal against Paris Saint-Germain at home on Tuesday night, with the result ending their 12-match unbeaten run of form across all competitions.
Mikel Arteta's side will hope to continue their four-match unbeaten home run in the Premier League to secure a second-place finish.

Bournemouth Preview & Form
Bournemouth will be looking to register their first-ever Premier League double over Arsenal, and they will head to the capital on the back of a four-game unbeaten run in the Premier League, winning once and drawing three. Last weekend, Andoni Iraola's men were held down to a 1-1 draw against Manchester United at the Vitality Stadium despite being reduced to 10 men in the second half. The Cherries side will now continue their chase for a top eight or nine finish and potential European football, but they have only won once from their last nine Premier League games. Currently, the Cherries sit 10th in the Premier League standings with 50 points from 34 games, seven points behind the top seven with four games to go.
Andoni Iraola's men will come to the Emirates Stadium in search of their first ever win from their last four Premier League games, with each of their last three road games ending in a draw. Four of their last five away games have resulted in both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals.
Evanilson red card rescinded.
