5 bold Premier League predictions: Tottenham beat Chelsea
4. Arsenal win seven-goal thriller at Bournemouth
One game that has the potential to be very exciting this weekend is Arsenal’s trip to face Bournemouth on Sunday. The Gunners have now gone 15 games unbeaten in all competitions and this weekend they’ll go to the Vitality Stadium full of confidence.
Confidence is not something Bournemouth have been short of this season either — their league position of sixth enough to confirm that. However, it’s their play in matches that’s really demonstrated this confidence properly.
The Cherries ran Manchester United ragged a few weeks ago and were very unlucky to end up losing to the Red Devils. Eddie Howe’s side look great on the ball, score good goals and feel like they can beat anyone by just playing their game.
The likes of David Brooks, Ryan Fraser and Callum Wilson are just a few of the names in the team that are having fantastic seasons. They will provide Arsenal with a hard match and it’s hard to see this game being anything other than high scoring.
Arsenal have looked great going forward this season but at the back they still look suspect. Lucas Torreira has given the Arsenal defense more cover but the actual players at the back don’t look particularly resilient.
Bournemouth should get in behind the Arsenal back line with the way they pass the ball around and whoever wins this match will simply have to be the more clinical side going forward.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette have turned games around for Arsenal this season as well as scoring crucial goals when their side need it the most. They will exploit Bournemouth’s back line and take their chances when they come.
Bournemouth will still find the Gunners net but the London club’s firepower will outweigh that of their south coast foes as Unai Emery’s side win this one 4-3.
