Arsenal – Bournemouth

Arsenal head into the clash at the Emirates as unbeaten leaders, having amassed 12 points from four straight victories and a dominant 8‑1 goal difference. Bournemouth, perched 15th with just three points from three draws and a solitary loss, will be desperate to turn their season around, despite a respectable 6‑7 goal tally. The gap between the two sides is stark – Arsenal have yet to drop any points, while the Cherries have failed to secure a win all campaign. Historically, Arsenal have held the upper hand in the fixture, and the home side will look to extend their perfect record while Bournemouth hopes to snatch a rare point on the road.
