Arsenal have a good record against Bournemouth, especially during Arteta's time as manager. They have won their last five meetings with the Cherries and are unbeaten in their previous nine.

The Gunners have won the last five matches 15-3 on aggregate with three of their wins and nine of the goals scored coming at the home of Bournemouth. Last time Arteta's side dropped points to Saturday's opposition was a 1-1 draw at the Vitality Stadium in December 2019, his first game as Gunners boss.

The team have the chance to continue not only their winning run but also their impressive scoring run against the Cherries on Saturday afternoon. The Gunners will no doubt be raring to go upon kick off.
