Preview: Arsenal vs Bournemouth prediction, odds, where to watch, time | Premier League 2025-26

Two of the last three outings between these clubs have ended in favour of the Cherries.

Arsenal are now going to shift focus to the 2025-26 Premier League as they host AFC Bournemouth. This is going to be an entertaining matchweek 32 outing, taking place at the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners are finally back to winning ways after securing a narrow win against Sporting CP in their UEFA Champions League quarterfinal first leg. They will now be looking to extend their winning run and being at home is going to give them an advantage from the start.

The Mikel Arteta-led side are at the top of the league table with a nine-point lead over the second-placed Manchester City. They are coming in close to winning the league table and will not be looking to drop points here. Arsenal might face a tough challenge in their upcoming game.

The Cherries have dropped points in their last five back-to-back matches. They are coming in after securing a 2-2 draw against Manchester United in their matchup. It was a close game, but they only did enough to secure a single point.

Andoni Iraola’s men will be away from home for their next league challenge and it is not going to be an easy one for them. AFC Bournemouth are placed 13th on the Premier League points table.
