This Saturday, May 4th, the Gunners will host Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium for the 36th match day of the Premier League. The Londoners, who are fighting for the title, are the clear favorites for this match, yet Andoni Iraola’s team is known for playing dynamic games.
The Gunner’s Title Race
Arsenal is in the thick of the title race, currently topping the league table with a slender one-point advantage over Manchester City, who have a game in hand. To keep their championship hopes alive, Mikel Arteta’s side must win their remaining three matches and hope for a Manchester City’s slip-up.
Bournemouth in Top Form
Bournemouth, while not the most formidable opponent, is not to be underestimated. The team is currently 10th in the league, just one point away from the 8th spot. Recently, they have lost only two of their last ten league matches, claiming victory in six.
