The Gunners are still part of the Premier League title race

Arsenal will have the chance to briefly extend their lead over Manchester City to four points when they face Bournemouth in a few days. Arsenal currently sit on top of the table and a point ahead of the defending champions but have played an extra game in comparison to their title rivals.

The Gunners have the best goal-scoring record in the league this season. In 35 games, they have scored 85 goals, an average of 2.42 goals a game. Arsenal also have the best defensive record in the league, conceding 28 goals with 16 clean sheets. They will have to win this match to stay in the title race.

Bournemouth, on the other hand, currently sits tenth in the Premier League. In 35 games, The Cherries have 13 wins, nine draws and 13 losses which leaves them on 48 points, equal with Chelsea and one point from West Ham. The Cherries have been consistent in front of goal this season, they will look to give a very tough challenge to the table toppers for sure and will have to give their all to get something from the match.

Players to Watch

Kai Havertz (Arsenal)

He has fantastic close control and dribbling ability, so can quickly turn after receiving and then manipulate the ball to beat a defender when one-on-one.

His clever movement also contributes to him being able to receive the ball between the lines. He can control the ball in pressured situations, and he can make in-behind runs which causes a lot of trouble to opposition defenders. He is quite unpredictable and with his movements, he creates a lot of goal-scoring opportunities.

Justin Kluivert (AFC Bournemouth)

As a right-footed player, he has been proven to be effective on the left side, cutting inside to create shots on goal. At only 5ft 7in, Kluivert has a low centre of gravity which he uses to his benefit, easily beating players. He also has plenty of pace, which will make him a constant danger in the Premier League, allowing the Cherries to progress up the pitch at speed.
