Preview: Bournemouth v Arsenal

After starting off the season in perfect fashion, we head to Bournemouth this weekend looking to win our first three Premier League games of a campaign for the first time since 2004/05.

We may have only lost once to the Cherries in our 10 previous top-flight meetings, but Scott Parker’s side will be full of confidence after gaining promotion last term via a second-place finish in the Championship, and beat Aston Villa on the opening weekend to extend their unbeaten home run to 11 league games.

A 4-0 defeat to Manchester City last weekend won’t have caused too many alarm bells, as Bournemouth aim to beat the odds and avoid a single-season stay in the division.
