Bournemouth find themselves in 10th place coming into their visit to Arsenal and are currently one point off eighth-placed Fulham.

If Chelsea were to win the Europa Conference League while also qualifying for the Europa through their league position, their UECL berth will be passed down to eighth in the Premier League. That is a prospect that will be mouthwatering to the likes of the Cherries.

Andoni Iraola and his side will fancy themselves to defy the odds and break into European competition, but they must win all of their remaining games to keep those hopes alive. As a result, the Cherries are likely to be on top form for their trip to North London, so the Gunners must be wary of the threat they will pose.
