Arsenal can pile the pressure on Manchester City and Liverpool in the Premier League as they take on Bournemouth this evening.
Of the three early-season title frontrunners, the Gunners are up first, making the trip to the south coast, before City and Liverpool return to action on Sunday.
Mikel Arteta’s side are still unbeaten this season, having come from behind to beat Southampton 3-1 before the international break.
Three points against a Cherries side who recently lost to newly-promoted Leicester would see the Gunners move top of the pile – albeit likely for only a few hours.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Bournemouth vs Arsenal is scheduled for a 5:30pm BST kick-off time today, Saturday October 19, 2024.
The Vitality Stadium (Dean Court) in Bournemouth will host the match.
