The Gunners continue their pursuit of Premier League glory when they entertain Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday. Our sportsbook offers the best markets and bonuses in the English top-flight league.
Arsenal: Great Run of Form
Mikel Arteta’s troops seized the initiative in the title race by making light work of Everton in a 4-0 romp to victory in the midweek action. That means Arsenal now sits five points clear of reigning champion Manchester City with just 13 rounds of fixtures left to play.
With the second-placed Citizens getting the weekend’s Premier League action underway against Newcastle on Saturday, leader Arsenal will look to maintain the gap at the top of the table with a victory over Bournemouth later in the day.
Once again, the Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, and Martin Odegaard trio excelled against Everton, participating in every goal. This is a huge opportunity for Arsenal to extend its winning run ahead of a busy period, so we will continue to include it in our Premier League betting ticket.
Leandro Trossard has impressed in his last two starts and should continue in the starting lineup, while Thomas Partey is expected to make his first start in almost a month after playing 45 minutes on Wednesday. Arteta’s side would be well-placed to take advantage of any further slip-ups at the Etihad as it searches for a fourth consecutive top-flight win, its little early February wobble now seemingly firmly consigned to the past.
Bournemouth Avoiding Relegation
Bournemouth is fighting hard for survival in the league, currently sitting in the 19th position in the Premier League. However, the situation is definitely not hopeless, as it is just one point behind the first salvation spot occupied by Leeds.
The club has very tough games in the next period and any potential point would be huge for it. No one gives it a great chance for survival, but there is no doubt that The Cherries will fight for their goal until the last round of the season, but if you’re betting online, you shouldn’t back them, especially when they are playing against the top sides.
The congested nature of the bottom half means Gary O’Neil’s side is far from doomed, although it would be fair to say it won’t get any favors from an Arsenal side craving a first league crown since 2004. The relegation-threatened club has failed to deliver two or more goals since before the World Cup break, and it’s hard to envisage that trend coming to an end at the Emirates. The visitors will be without Lloyd Kelly, Marcus Tavernier, Lewis Cook, Stanislas, and Matis Vina in Saturday’s encounter.
