Arsenal and Bournemouth meet Wednesday night at 19:45 in the 28th round of the Premier League. The Emirates Stadium match finds the host team with big bumblers, as including the scorer Callum Wilson is unavailable to Eddie Howe’s manager.
Arsenal has come back after a hesitant period and now has 5 wins in the last 7 stages of the championship, thanks to which he returned to Top 4. Arsenal is in fourth position (goal 55-37) and has a remarkable balance on his own field , where he won 11 games out of 14 and lost one! “Tuners” meet one of the most modest teams in away matches.
Bournemouth is on the 10th place (38-48 goals) and only scored 9 points in the 13 games this season. There is a huge difference between the exuberant and aggressive team on the Vitality Stadium and the hesitating and defensive band playing on foreign ground. For Arsenal is an ideal match, especially as Unai Emery’s student confidence is high, after winning with Southampton (2-0 in the championship) and BATE Borisov (3-0 in UEL).
The tour was 2-1 for Arsenal, who was forced by the decisive success of Aubameyang, in the second half. By comparing the individual players individually, the Londoners would have to rule their direct duels and re-evaluate the latest Bournemouth field results: 3-0, 3-1 and 2-0. With only two victories in the last nine stages of the championship, the judges come with minimal hopes on the Emirates, especially as they have only one victory in the last seven straight duels against white-red. In addition, batch problems seem to affect Eddie Howe, rather than the Iberian Unai Emery.
Arsenal can not rely on Bellerin, Holding and Welbeck, while guests come without Brooks, Cook, Francis, Lerma and Wilson, and Stanislas is uncertain. With a long list of injured, Bournemouth will hardly line up a first 11 solid at Wednesday night, where hosts are not allowed to miss success!
