Despite their defensive fragility, Al Hain-Cole is backing the Gunners to come out on top in a high-scoring clash when they take on Howe’s team
Arsenal will be looking to maintain their strong record against Bournemouth when the sides meet at the Emirates Stadium in Sunday’s Premier League clash.
The Gunners have taken 19 points from a possible 24 in league matches against this opposition, as well as winning five out of five home meetings in all competitions.

Arsenal vs Bournemouth team news
Alexandre Lacazette remains unavailable due to an ankle injury, although Kieran Tierney returned to action in Thursday’s 4-0 Europa League victory over Standard Liege.
Charlie Daniels, Adam Smith, David Brooks, Junior Stanislas, Dan Gosling are all on a long injury list, while Ryan Fraser is a doubt following illness.
Arsenal vs Bournemouth preview
Having won 16 and lost just one of their last 21 home matches in the league, Unai Emery’s team will back themselves to extend their winning streak against a visiting side that has taken just 13 points from the last available 51 on the road.
However, with 17 goals to their name in just the last six league away games, the Cherries will be equally confident of finding the net considering their opponents have kept just one clean sheet in 12 in the league.
Arsenal vs Bournemouth predictions
With this in mind, odds of 2.30 appear generous on Arsenal to come out on top despite conceding for their third meeting in a row with Bournemouth.
