Fresh off the back of Champions League semi-final first leg disappointment against PSG, Arsenal will be desperate to get back on track here against Bournemouth. The Gunners are obviously prioritising their Champions League campaign, but they will be eager to box off 2nd place in the Premier League table too. Bournemouth meanwhile have impressed all season and sit 10th in the table and are chasing a Premier League double over the Gunners here, having beaten them at home back in October.

Arsenal vs Bournemouth Analysis
Both of these sides will be looking for three points, in what promises to be an excellent game for both punters and EPL betting sites.
Arsenal
It feels like a crucial stage in the season for Arsenal, who have some serious work to do if they are to progress to the final of the Champions League final, following their first leg defeat at home to PSG. European football has long been the priority for the Gunners, who are chasing their first Champions League final appearance since 2006. Second place in the Premier League table has long been assured, with Liverpool setting the pace and the Gunners will be eager to finish the campaign strongly here and are the favourites for this one with most punters and Premier League betting sites.
Team news: Gabriel, Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz and Takehiro Tomiyasu miss out here for Arsenal.
Arsenal Predicted Lineup:
Raya, Calafiori, Kiwior, Zinchenko, Tierney, Jorginho, Sterling, Partey, Nwaneri, Trossard & Merino.
Bournemouth
While their dream of securing European football next season looks to have been extinguished for now, it has been an incredible campaign for the Cherries, who continue to punch above their weight in the Premier League. Sat in the top half of the table with just 4 games to play, is a clear reflection of the progress they have made, and they were seconds away from beating Manchester United last weekend. They comfortably beat Arsenal at home earlier in the season and they will be chasing a repeat performance here.
Team news: Enes Unal, Luis Sinisterra and Ryan Christie will all miss out here for Bournemouth.
Bournemouth Predicted Lineup:
Kepa, Smith, Huijsen, Zabaryni, Kerkez, Cook, Adams, Semenyo, Kluivert, Scott & Evanilson.
Arsenal vs Bournemouth Prediction
Arsenal will naturally have their attention very much locked on their Champions League tie with PSG, but they know the importance of ticking along in this one. Bournemouth managed to overcome Arsenal earlier in the season, a result the Gunners will be seeking revenge for here. This is tough to call, with Arsenal’s attention elsewhere and it could be an entertaining draw at the Emirates.
Prediction: The match to finish as a draw – 13/5 (+260) – Rhino Bet.
Arsenal vs Bournemouth – The Ultimate Bet
Draw & BTTS – 7/2 (+350) – Fitzdares
Both of these sides have scored plenty of goals this season and this should be quite an open contest. Arsenal will give fringe players a go and with Bournemouth still playing well, this could end up all-square in North London.
