Arsenal may struggle to pick Cherries apart
Premier League
3pm Saturday
Bournemouth came close to gaining their first point of the season against Manchester City and they can achieve a share of the spoils against Arsenal at the Emirates.
The Cherries took plenty of positives from their performance against City but there were not too many redeeming features about Arsenal's performance in a 4-0 loss at Liverpool.
Arsene Wenger will demand an improvement but many of his players have been away on international duty, including Alexis Sanchez, who may be smarting over his failed deadline day move to Manchester City.
Recommendation
Draw
1pt 9-2 general
