Seven of the last eight meetings between these teams have gone over 2.5 goals
Both teams have scored in 10 of Bournemouth's last 14 away games
Recommended bet: Both teams to score
Arsenal suffered a shock FA Cup quarter-final exit at the hands of Southampton last weekend, but they remain in control of the Premier League title race and will be looking to edge closer to silverware with victory over Bournemouth.
Having once been on course for a quadruple, the Premier League and Champions League are all that now concern the Gunners and Kai Havertz's stoppage-time winner guided them to a 1-0 win away at Sporting CP on Tuesday.
With the return leg of that Champions League quarter-final to come at the Emirates, Mikel Arteta will be happy with the position his team find themselves in and they can now turn their attention back to domestic matters.
The Gunners are currently nine points clear of Manchester City, who have a game in hand, but they can pile the pressure on with the Citizens facing a trip to Chelsea on Sunday.
Since losing 3-2 at home to Arsenal at the start of January, Bournemouth have gone 11 games unbeaten and they will be looking to end a run of five straight draws.

Team news
The Gunners are hopeful that they will have Bukayo Saka and Jurrien Timber back from injury, but Eberechi Eze and Piero Hincapie are doubts and Mikel Merino is a long-term absentee.
For the Cherries, Eli Junior Kroupi is expected to overcome a knock, but Tyler Adams and Lewis Cook face fitness tests and Justin Kluivert and Julio Soler have been ruled out.
The stats
Having won each of their first eight home games against Bournemouth in all competitions, Arsenal lost this league fixture 2-1 at the Emirates last season.
Bournemouth have won two of their last three league games against the Gunners, who have lost two of their last three fixtures.
Bournemouth’s 11-game unbeaten run in the Premier League has featured seven draws and both teams have scored in 10 of their last 14 away games.
Seven of the last eight meetings between this pair have gone over 2.5 goals.

Prediction
Arsenal were beaten 2-0 by Man City in the EFL Cup final in March and have since exited the FA Cup at the quarter-final stage away at Championship outfit Southampton, so the nerves are certainly creeping in.
The Gunners did respond with a win in the Champions League on Tuesday, but they needed an injury-time winner and David Raya was forced to make five saves.
Bournemouth should be fresh on the back of a three-week lay-off and they are dangerous to underestimate on the back of an 11-game unbeaten run.
That includes a 2-2 draw with in-form Manchester United most recently and they have a lot of attacking talent which can cause problems for Arsenal.
The Cherries did a league double over Arsenal last season and they gave the Gunners a scare in a 3-2 defeat at the Vitality Stadium in January.
Both teams have scored in 19 of Bournemouth's last 14 away games and the goals could flow again with Arsenal's level having dipped slightly.
