It's a good time for Bournemouth to playing Arsenal. Arsene Wenger's side haven't won in three games and also haven't kept a clean sheet in five. The Cherries are coming off a decent 1-0 away win against Stoke on Nov. 19 which saw a reconstructed back four not only stop the Potters from scoring but also supply three points, thanks to Nathan Ake's header. The momentum is definitely with the south coast side going into this weekend.
One thing which has come even more to forefront since the last game is Eddie Howe's superb man management skills. Benik Afobe, who's had a pretty torrid season so far failing to score and even start a game, stated he rates club commitments over representing his country.
