Bournemouth is not a joke team. I know they do not look like a very highly ranked team, but they are very good and they have upset many bigger teams this season as well. I think it is going to be a rough game, and specially considering how Arsenal did with the two cups, it is going to have a lot to do with confidence as well.

Arsenal needs to not underestimate Bournemouth but also not lose any confidence neither and try to win that, otherwise it will not end very well for them. They are very ahead right now, six points or something, so it is not like the gap is small, there is a reason why they are ahead and leading the league right now and they should remember that and try to play that way, with talent and passion.

Arsenal has won its last four Premier League matches and will approach this game with intense focus to avoid any slip-ups in the title race. Bournemouth, on the other hand, has drawn its last five league matches. I don’t think playing beautifully or experimenting with different tactics is Arsenal’s priority right now.

The only thing that matters is winning and securing the title at the end of the season. Bournemouth is an interesting team capable of scoring against any defense, but their defensive structure breaks down easily when under pressure. It’s natural to expect Arsenal to win this match, and an early goal would make things easier for them.

Bournemouth are indeed only sitting in 13th place in the table, but even so , they are not an opponent to be taken lightly, especially given that they are unbeaten in  their last 11 matches and it seems they are highly motivated to sustain this record. But their  opponents on this occasion are Arsenal, the team that beat them before that unbeaten run, and this time  Arsenal will also have the advantage of playing at home.

If Arsenal were to focus solely on the Premier League, I’m fairly  certain they’d be able to beat Bournemouth, but it seems Arsenal  also have ambitions in the Champions League and in the coming days they’ll be  facing Sporting, so it’s highly likely they’ll rotate their squad for the match against Bournemouth. Given the situation , it seems rather difficult to predict how this match will end, as Bournemouth look set to have a chance of snatching a point

Yes, that’s right. Bournemouth is a team Arsenal shouldn’t underestimate. Bournemouth could very well spring a surprise on Arsenal just as they did in Round 20, where Bournemouth managed to score the opening goal even though Arsenal ultimately won by a narrow margin. And now Arsenal faces Bournemouth again in the 32nd round of the Premier League. If Arsenal allows Bournemouth to launch an attack that breaks through their defense first Arsenal might struggle to score an equalizer. And that would cause Arsenal to run out of stamina. But I personally believe that Arsenal can win this ongoing match. And I predict that Arsenal will score first. The pressure Arsenal is applying as the home team against Bournemouth further convinces me that Arsenal will be able to win until the final whistle blows. Arsenal's winning mentality is on fire right now.

West Ham was on fire last night. I know that they needed to win that game to stay alive on the table but who would have thought they would keep a clean sheet and win by 4 goals. If I was a Tottenham supporter I would be really scared now because Spurs are going to the championship.

West Ham demolished Wolves last night by 4-0! This was like their best performance in the recent times. Even a centre-back like Mavropanos scored 2 goals! 

You know what this means right? Now West Ham are temporarily above Tottenham so De Zerbi's team is in relegation zone...

I can't imagine his stress right after signing for the team. I can't wait for their Sunderland game!

West Ham had a huge win over Wolves last night, but i am not surprised with that huge win because any team that is fighting to avoid relegation will play with all their strength just to win matches and avoid relegation, and the win was expected since Wolves have nothing to play for. West Ham win over Wolves has made De Zerbi work more difficult, and if De Zerbi could not beat Sunderland and reclaim their position from West Ham, Tottenham hotspur should get ready to play in the championship because nothing will save them from not going to relegation.

At first when I saw this part of the league table I thought it was a mistake, Tottenham finally found a way of locating the relegation zone, hmm this is becoming a dangerous game for Tottenham and if they don't get a win in their next game I don't see them running off the danger zone. Now they have a new manager, can he make a difference for the club by pushing the off that position? Watching West Ham yesterday shows how serious they are to avoid that red zone and their seriousness have started to show up on how they play. It was indeed a good game for the Hammers and the Wolves players still lack that special player that can control the game for them if not I don't see them winning any game till the end of the season. And again, Tottenham will find a way out of the relegation zone.

Arsenal's run of bad luck really needs to end now. If they come this close to the Premier League title and fail to win it again, they likely won't be able to recover. That's why it's essential for them to channel every bit of energy they have solely into their Premier League matches.
