Bournemouth vs Arsenal preview

Both sides manoeuvred their way through tricky cup ties on Wednesday, despite making changes with this fixture in mind.

Bournemouth are yet to win in the league this season, though have managed three draws to keep themselves out the relegation zone to now.

Their last home Premier League outing saw them collect a 0-0 draw with goal-shy Chelsea, though did have chances themselves to leave with all three.

Arsenal will be a different animal this weekend, however and the Cherries need a big step up in performance to land anything here.

The Gunners are unbeaten in all competitions this season but dropped more points in the league last weekend in the North London derby.

Mikel Arteta will be spewing at his side losing the lead twice to draw that game but, as the odds suggest, should get back on the win-train on Saturday.

Bournemouth vs Arsenal betting tips

Arsenal to win and both teams to score at 7/4 - CLAIM HERE

Arsenal aren't actually too bad a price to win this weekend.

But we'll go in search for a little bit more value by backing them to win with Bournemouth scoring.

Their last three away games have finished 1-0, but Bournemouth have scored in five of the last six home games against Arsenal, with a 2-1 Gunners win happening twice in the last four visits.

Dominic Solanke to score anytime at 11/4 - CLAIM HERE

He's a player brimming with confidence having notched three goals in his last four games.

This selection was already in the bag before he scored Wednesday's opener against Stoke in the cup.

That made it two games in a row where he scored first and we wouldn't put anyone off getting more value in backing him to bag first again.

But 11/4 is good value for anytime and if Bournemouth do score, he'll likely have a part to play.

Lewis Cook 2+ fouls with Paddy Power at 16/5 - CLAIM HERE

Will start in a combative midfield and has some serious competition up against him.

Is averaging two fouls per game in home Premier League outings so far this season and that average is surely only going to increase here.

Perhaps one the bookies have missed at a seemingly big price....
