Arsenal vs Bournemouth preview
Arsenal have to be perfect in their remaining three matches of the season, and even that might not be enough to clinch their first Premie League title in 20 years.
The Gunners sit top of the division with 80 points from 35 games – one ahead of Manchester City having played a match more than the Cityzens.
But Mikel Arteta’s side do have the chance to move four points clear of their rivals with victory over Bournemouth and exert pressure on Pep Guardiola’s outfit, who play Wolves later on Saturday.
Arsenal are overwhelming favourites to clinch maximum points on Saturday, especially given they’ve won three games in eight days against Wolves, Chelsea and north London rivals Tottenham.
They have also won seven of their last eight against Bournemouth – including a 4-0 demolition at the Vitality Stadium earlier this season.
However, that was during a fairly bleak period for the Cherries, who completely transformed their season from around November onwards.
Andoni Iraola’s side find themselves in the top half of the table having been languishing in 19th position, and have enjoyed successive wins with clean sheets against Wolves and Brighton.

Arsenal vs Bournemouth betting tips
Hav options
It looks a pretty safe bet for Arsenal playmaker Kai Havertz to get on the scoresheet again this weekend.
The Germany international has scored 12 goals in 34 appearances this season, and over 66% of those (8) have come in the last 11 matches.
He netted from the penalty spot in the reverse fixture, and now has two goals in three career appearances against the Cherries.
He’s perhaps a fraction short at 21/20 to score anytime, but punters can also get him to score a header at 4/1 with William Hill, or with his right foot at a bumper 7/1.
Havertz goals this season: Headed goals: 3, Goals with right foot: 3, Goals with left foot: 6.

Kluivert
Bournemouth might be up against it away to the league leaders, but they’ll certainly come out swinging whatever happens.
Only Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal can beat Bournemouth’s 78 attempts in the last four Premier League matches at an average of a shot every 5.7 minutes.
Justin Kluivert has registered more efforts at goal (14) and on target (7) than any of his colleagues over the last four outings, while no Bournemouth player has had more touches in the opposition penalty area in that period.
- Justin Kluivert to have a shot on target in both halves at 15/2 with William Hill – CLAIM HERE
Win and BTTS
It’s difficult to look beyond an Arsenal win given their rampant form and what’s at stake, but the value option looks to be Arsenal Win and Both Teams To Score.
Only Liverpool have picked up more points at home than Arsenal this season, while the Cherries have actually scored in each of their last TEN top-flight matches.
