AFC Bournemouth form and stats

AFC Bournemouth have only played one Premier League game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 13 wins, 7 draws and 3 defeats from 23 matches.

AFC Bournemouth lost their last game at Manchester City (placed 1st) after a 0-4 scoreline. Bournemouth were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one. Christie, a striker, was the best player for the team in that fixture, and was presented with a rating of 7.05 (out of 10). Christie dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

Ahead of that match, AFC Bournemouth won a home game hosting Aston Villa (2-0).

There will be little rest for Bournemouth after this match as they are travelling to Norwich City for a Carabao Cup game in only two days.

Early season league goal statistics from AFC Bournemouth's 1 home game: 2 goals, 0 conceded.

Jesus (2), Martinelli and Xhaka scored in Arsenal's previous match, the home game against Leicester City that ended 4-2. A bizarre game with plenty of goals last time out for Arsenal, as mentioned above. 6 goals in total, will this fixture be as exciting? The attacker Jesus got a match rating of 8.94 in that game. Jesus scored two goals, signed up for two assists, hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times.

Prior to that result Arsenal won their away game at Crystal Palace. The scoreline was 2-0.

2 goals so far away for Arsenal, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 0. All from 1 league match away.
