The international break is over so now it’s time to welcome back the Premier League to our weekends.
On Sunday, sixth-placed Bournemouth entertain an Arsenal side who are on a very impressive unbeaten run of 16 games in all competitions – a game you can listen to live on talkSPORT , kick-off 1:30pm.
However, despite both sides’ good starts to their respective 2018/19 campaigns, they are not in the best form with the Cherries losing their last two matches.
Meanwhile, the Gunners have drawn three of their last five Premier League games, scraping a 1-1 draw at home to Wolves last time out.
Unai Emery’s men will be looking for the victory in order to stay in touch with fourth-placed Tottenham.

What the managers are saying
Eddie Howe (Bournemouth): “Arsenal have outstanding attacking players and a good look about their team, it will be a tough game.
“If one to 11 we are very good, then we can do well. It will be an interesting game to see which attack comes out on top and it will be a great battle for our defenders as well.”
Unai Emery (Arsenal): “ I know that we are going to have to play at a very high level in order to get the three points because Bournemouth are doing some great work, they have some fantastic players.”
“I think that most of all, they have that confidence at the moment which is making them a truly tough proposition.”
