Arsenal vs Bournemouth Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Premier League 2024-25

The Gunners have already fallen to the Cherries once this season.

Arsenal are all set to host AFC Bournemouth in match week 35 of the English Premier League 2024-25 season. The Emirates Stadium will come to life as the Cherries and the Gunners are ready for a battle.

Arsenal will most likely finish second in the Premier League standings this season, too. Liverpool have already lifted the trophy with a few matches left to play. Despite being at home, the Gunners will be under pressure as they are coming in after facing a defeat against PSG in the UCL semi-final first leg.

Even after being away from home, AFC Bournemouth will be feeling confident as they have already defeated Arsenal once this season and will be looking to complete a double against them. The Cherries were held to a draw in their last Premier League game, which was against Manchester United. Bournemouth are in 10th place on the league table.

• Date: Saturday, May 3
• Kick-off Time: 22:00 IST/ 16:30 GMT/ 11:30 ET/ 08:30 PT

Players to Watch

Bukayo Saka (Arsenal)

The English forward is going to play an important role in the attacking front for the Gunners. Bukayo Saka recently came back to the squad after his injury and still looks in good touch. With 16 goal involvements in 21 Premier League matches this season, Bukayo Saka has been a constant threat to the opponent’s defence.

Justin Kluivert (Bournemouth)

Justin Kluivert will be leading the attacking front for the Cherries. Bournemouth did not let Arsenal score any goals last time around and will be looking to do the same here. Kluivert scored one of the goals the last time against the Gunners. He is going to create some problems for Arsenal’s defence here.
