For Arsenal, today’s trip to Vitality Stadium is as close to must-win as it gets.
Arsene Wenger’s men have not scored in three straight league matches, and need a positive result to avoid staying eight points behind Leicester in the title chase. Arsenal have a date with the Foxes next week, and a win over the Cherries could help them significantly close the gap.
Bournemouth have been impressive at times this season, and have lost just twice in their last 12 matches. Recent wins over Crystal Palace and Norwich City have boosted them to 28 points this season, putting them out of reach of relegation.
Arsenal have gone four Premier League matches without a win, and they haven’t gone five without a win since August of 2011. History is on their side against Bournemouth, who have never even scored on Arsenal (5-0) in two competitive matches.
