Arsenal – Bournemouth: Bournemouth Do The Double (1-2)

Arsenal cannot wait for the Premier League fixture list to end. But the campaign could get very stressful if they are not careful. They again looked lethargic in the league as an old ally of Mikel Arteta made history, heaping pressure on the manager before the biggest match of his career.

Tactical analysis and match report by Emmanuel Adeyemi-Abere.

Basque brilliance has brought these two clubs to much better positions in the Premier League table thanks to their managers. But both sides should look back on their campaigns with disappointment.

Bournemouth brightened the league in the wintry months. They beat Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, and Manchester United, drew with Chelsea, and scored nine goals in victories over Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest. But they have lost major momentum. One win in nine league fixtures and an FA Cup quarter-final exit to Manchester City feel like a bump back to earth. But even though the dream of playing in European football is out of their hands, they can still earn their best finish in the top tier.

Arsenal are searching for standards from previous years but again have fallen . . .
