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.

[Nightwatchmare]

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.

Bournemouth just scored to lead the score line 1-2, and with 15 minutes left in the game, I’m not so sure Arsenal can come back into this game. Can’t believe that Arsenal will be fighting for a draw at the Emirates. The premier league is indeed unpredictable.

[execijutiere]

In the opening match of the week, West Ham managed to secure a comfortable home win against Wolverhampton. Both teams are at the bottom of the league table, but we can safely say that Wolverhampton has effectively been relegated. While they still have a mathematical chance of staying up starting this week, I don’t think they have a realistic chance of doing so. West Ham avoided any slip-ups at home, defeating their opponent 4-0 and raising their points total to 32 with a game in hand.

Arsenal have started to show their true colour, honestly what the hell is wrong with Arsenal they have gradually went back to their tradition, because this is what I was saying despite the gap they are still in danger because of how the other teams are performing. Arsenal hosted Bournemouth and they could not be able to win their match, what is the kind of embarrassment after giving them all the trust, what they do is to ruin everything at the last moment when they are needed the most. I'm highly disappointed because gradually arsenal are about to lose his trophy again.

LOSS --- It seems that Arsenal are getting tense towards the end of the real season they lost at home, whether this is an unlucky factor or Bournemouth played well but this defeat increases the chances for Man City.

Man City have two matches remaining --- next week these two teams will meet and play at Etihad, Arsenal's position is now increasingly cornered to get points.

Wow, I'm really surprised by this. I didn't think Arsenal would lose at home. But they did, and with the Premier League season heading into its final weeks, they've given Manchester City an opportunity. If Manchester City capitalize on this, the points difference will narrow even further. Plus, Arsenal have a Champions League match in England. This has boosted the hopes of their rivals, who now believe they can beat Arsenal.

Arsenal just made me lose some money i stake on them to win Bournemouth believing that since they are playing at home and a club that want to win the premier league title this season that they were going to win Bournemouth but Arsenal failed to even a draw at the Emirate stadium. Arsenal can't win the title again with this there mentality i can't just imagine they will be losing matches now that they are almost close of winning the title, if Man city can win chelsea tomorrow Arsenal should forget about the league title.

That's unfortunate to see Arsenal losing their match like that. Even a draw, which was unsatisfactory, could at least pushed them forward with a goal. They are seeing their chances to win the title decreasing with every round..

Man City have two matches remaining --- next week these two teams will meet and play at Etihad, Arsenal's position is now increasingly cornered to get points.

Manchester City would regret the two draws in their last games, otherwise they would be able to overtake Arsenal since they are lacking two matches.

West Ham United knocked Wolverhampton by 4 goals and moved temporarily out of the relegation zone letting Tottenham Hotspur moving down there. The relegation battle will be very interesting too.

[SatoPrincess]

There are still other games to be played today but Arsenal losing to Bournemouth has left a bitter taste in my mouth. I don’t think I have any interest in watching the PL games today. I will save my energy for the Chelsea-Manchester City hatewatch tomorrow instead, hopefully the CWC champions can cause an upset against City.

Arsenal's bad luck continues right where it left off. I wonder what else needs to happen for them to win such a critical match? There is a 9-point gap between them and City but City has two games in hand and they still have a head-to-head match against Arsenal.

It looks like Arsenal is going to hand the championship over to Manchester City again this year. I’d love for their streak of bad luck to break but they need to put in a bit more effort themselves.

I don’t know if it’s simply bad luck. Last season Bournemouth beat Arsenal 1-2 and this today they did it again. To be fair, Bournemouth was the better side today and all their hard work paid off in the end. 

On the other hand, it’s unfortunate because Mikel Arteta just gave room to City to win the league. We all know how City are like sharks and right now there is a lot of blood in the water.

Arsenal is always like this at the end of the season. If they do not win all the remaining matches in the Premier League, they will lose the trophy that is already clearly in front of them. 
We will see how Man City faces Chelsea; if Man City manages to get 3 points, and with the likelihood of them winning against Crystal Palace in the postponed match, the gap between Arsenal and Man City will be only 3 points. Truly an unfavorable situation for Arsenal.

I don't understand Arsenal anymore I don't know if they really want to lift a trophy or they just want to be called bottles every season, I was thinking they will comfortably win this match since they are playing at their own home, what a disgrace to arsenal if the eventually don't lift the premier League title it will be a big shame to them and what they should do is to sack the coach he has a lot of players that can comfortably win him or win arsenal the premier League title and other trophies but it seems that he cannot comfortably use this players very well in order to achieve a good result.
I know a lot of people bet on arsenal to win the match and now they are very disappointed because arsenal have lost  the match, actually is big disappointment and I wonder how arsenal fans will be feeling right now.
The premier League is unpredictable and and have made people lose their bet.
