Arsenal vs Bournemouth Prediction: London Cannon Focus Tested

London, Beritasatu.com – Arsenal will continue their struggle to maintain the top of the standings by hosting Bournemouth in the 36th week of the Premier League, Saturday (4/5/2024), at 18.30 WIB. Victory is mandatory for Arsenal if they don't want their hopes of winning the title this season to disappear.

Arsenal is currently only one point behind Manchester City who is in second place. Apart from that, Manchester City also still has one match in savings.

This means Arsenal's remaining three matches are crucial, including against Bournemouth. The London Cannon has positive provisions, namely winning in the last three matches.

After beating Wolverhampton 2-0, Arsenal slaughtered Chelsea 5-0, and narrowly won over Tottenham 3-2.

With this situation there is no longer any message to coach Mikel Arteta squad-other than focus.

“Just focus and use all your energy, focus on finding determination and determination to get the right to win the match,” said Arteta, quoted by the BBC.

“Against Bournemouth, the atmosphere will be amazing. Just focus, appear on the field and be involved in this moment,” he continued.

After Bournemouth, Arsenal must visit Manchester United and then close the season by hosting Everton.

The match will certainly not be easy considering that Bournemouth have just won two consecutive wins without conceding. After beating Wolverhampton 1-0 thanks to Antoine Semenyo's single goal, Bournemouth beat Brighton 3-0 through goals from Marcos Senesi, Enes Unal and Justin Kluivert.

With these two wins, coach Andoni Iraola believes his team can make things difficult for Arsenal.

“We always have the belief that we can win the match,” he said.

Even though the team's position is safe in 10th place with 48 points, Andoni wants his team to finish in its best position.

“We will come back with squad which is quite thin. We have some important players out, but I also think we are in a good position. “We want to finish strong,” he added
