Arsenal will see their Premier League title challenge resume this weekend as they make the trip to the south coast to face Bournemouth. The Cherries were on the end of a rout in last season’s clash but with Andoni Iraola having now recovered his side’s form, they will be a much sterner test.
That said, Arsenal are dealing with something of an injury crisis as Bukayo Saka was added to the growing list of Martin Odegaard, Ben White, Jurrien Timber and others. Mikel Arteta will be hoping not to have to deal with any further problems as his players complete their last international responsibilities.
Despite the relative frustration over the team’s status, there are reasons to be positive, in fact, there are threads which should give Arteta some boosts toward his hopes of the title.
