Bournemouth vs Arsenal Preview

Bournemouth welcome Arsenal to the Vitality Stadium on Saturday evening in what promises to be a compelling Premier League encounter between two sides in contrasting form. The Cherries arrive having drawn 2-2 away at Chelsea in their most recent outing, extending a run that has seen them secure four draws in their last five matches. Prior to the Chelsea result, they suffered a 4-1 defeat away at Brentford. Earlier in this sequence, Bournemouth drew 1-1 at home to Burnley and 4-4 away at Manchester United, before drawing 0-0 at home to Chelsea in early December. This run of results highlights their resilience but also their inability to convert performances into victories.

Arsenal, by contrast, are in scintillating form, having won all five of their most recent fixtures. Their latest triumph came as a 4-1 home victory over Aston Villa, maintaining momentum from earlier wins over Brighton & Hove Albion (2-1 at home), a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup, a 1-0 away success at Everton, and a 2-1 home win against Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Gunners have been ruthless in front of goal and defensively solid, making them formidable opponents for any side in the division.

The head-to-head record is evenly balanced, with both teams claiming two victories from the last five meetings and one draw. Bournemouth stunned Arsenal with a 2-1 away win in May 2025 and secured a 2-0 home triumph in October 2024. Arsenal won 3-0 at home in May 2024 and also enjoyed a commanding 4-0 away win in September 2023, while the sides also drew 1-1 in a friendly in July 2024.

US viewers can tune in via NBC, Telemundo Deportes En Vivo, and Peacock, while German supporters can stream on Sky Sport Premier League and WOW.
