Premier League: Arsenal vs. Bournemouth Picks — Gunners Chasing Return to Form (May 3)

Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal will be looking to get their form back on track when they host Bournemouth in the Premier League on Saturday.

The Gunners were way below the standards required in midweek, as they failed to lay a glove on PSG in the Champions League. They also come into this round of EPL matches after playing out draws in three of their last four games.

Bournemouth’s form has improved in recent weeks after avoiding defeat in their last four. However, like the Gunners, they have played out draws in three of their matches over that period.
