Arsenal v Bournemouth predictions

After taking just one point from their first three Premier League matches in February, Arsenal have racked up three straight victories to get their title challenge back on track.

Wednesday's 4-0 win over struggling Everton was just the kind of comprehensive result that manager Mikel Arteta would have wanted after tense victories at Aston Villa and Leicester and it should be a similar story when the Gunners host Bournemouth.

The Cherries pinched a 1-0 win at Wolves in their last away fixture, scoring with their only shot on target, but they had lost their previous seven league and cup games on the road, six of them to nil.

Bournemouth were outclassed 4-1 by Manchester City on the south coast last weekend and a repeat of August's 3-0 home defeat to Arsenal looks a tempting correct-score bet at the Emirates Stadium, where only champions City have beaten Arteta's side in the league this season.

Key stat

Bournemouth have lost six of their last eight away matches in all competitions to nil

Probable teams

Arsenal (4-2-3-1): Ramsdale; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Partey, Xhaka; Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli; Trossard
