Following on from their 11-game winning run in all competitions, which ended in the 2-2 draw at Crystal Palace last month, Arsenal have found it hard to get over the line in more recent encounters.

While they performed well in a 1-1 home draw with Liverpool, in the 1-1 tie with Wolves at the Emirates Stadium, they were a long way short of their best and eventually fortunate to take anything from the meeting with the newly promoted team.

The man they had to thank for keeping them in the contest was Bernd Leno, who has gone a long way to cementing his status as the first-choice option between the sticks recently.

James McNicholas of Gunnerblog hailed his efforts:

Defensively, the Gunners will need to be tighter when they visit Bournemouth, as Howe's side have played some of the most vibrant attacking football in the top flight this season.

The Cherries have Callum Wilson up top, leading the line with aggression and physicality. Either side of him Bournemouth have the flair and creativity of both Ryan Fraser and David Brooks.

Howe will be a little wary of the fact the team have been short of their best in their last two matches. Against Manchester United, they were profligate after taking an early lead and eventually lost 2-1 late on, while at Newcastle United, an awful start to the game eventually cost them a 2-1 defeat.

Former Sunderland goalkeeper David Preece noted Bournemouth were bullied a little by the Magpies:

The Gunners will need to wary of Wilson, though, as he's netted in his last two games against them and has been in excellent form this term:

Regardless of what's gone on in the buildup to these matches, these two sides will turn up with an attacking intent, and as such, this will be one of the most entertaining matches in the Premier League this weekend.

Bournemouth have been challenging opponents frequently in 2018-19, and while they can be devastating on their day, there is still an air of defensive vulnerability that accompanies them. It's why Arsenal will be too strong over 90 minutes.

Prediction: Bournemouth 1-3 Arsenal
