Arsenal preview: Stumbling Gunners
Mikel Arteta has been criticised for a lack of silverware to show for his work at Arsenal and his resolve has been put to the test in recent weeks with an EFL Cup final loss and an FA Cup quarter-final defeat.
They did recover from that loss to Championship side Southampton in the cup by edging past Sporting CP with a late Kai Havertz goal in the first-leg of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final in Lisbon in midweek.
Bournemouth preview: Frustrated Cherries
Andoni Iraola, still a very highly-rated coach, is presiding over an AFC Bournemouth side that remain in contention for the European spots but could do with putting together a consistent run of victories at this stage of the season.
The Cherries fought back but were frustrated by a 2-2 draw with Manchester United last time out. That was their fifth successive sharing of the spoils and they have drawn eight of their last 11 games inside 90 minutes.

Arsenal vs Bournemouth prediction
Bournemouth had been frustrated with three goalless draws in four matches before that clash with United. They will fancy themselves to eventually turn their attacking efficiency around, though. Arsenal are not known for that, but more for a regimented, percentage-based approach - which is coming under pressure in the biggest games. Bournemouth are still underdogs but they'll fancy themselves to at least bloody the nose of the still seeming champions-elect at the Emirates Stadium.
