Bournemouth vs Arsenal
Premier League 2018/19
Venue: Vitality Stadium
Kick-off: 1:30pm GMT
Arsenal are seeking to end a run of three Premier League games without a win as they head to the south coast to play Bournemouth.
Unai Emery's Gunners are unbeaten in their last 16 games in all competitions, but have drawn their last three League matches to slip eight points behind table-toppers Manchester City.
To break that drawing streak, Arsenal will have to be on their guard as they face a Bournemouth side sitting four points behind in sixth place, with Eddie Howe's Cherries back to their free-flowing best.
