Arsenal has the chance to rise to the top of the Premier League table by defeating Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.

Conceding first against Southampton two weeks ago brought back painful memories for Arsenal fans, reminiscent of their title hopes faltering in a thrilling 3-3 draw with the Saints during the 2022-23 season. However, Mikel Arteta's more experienced team managed to avoid a similar outcome this time.

Arsenal has shown significant progress since their past comebacks, with their most notable being against this weekend's opponents. With Manchester City and Liverpool not playing until Sunday, Arsenal, currently in third, can move to the top of the table with a win at the Vitality Stadium.

While it may be too early to talk about a repeat of the Invincibles, Arsenal remains unbeaten across all competitions this season, extending their streak to 16 games without a loss. Their last defeat was in April against Bayern Munich.

Bournemouth, on the other hand, will be looking for a turnaround after suffering a 1-0 defeat to Leicester City, where Facundo Buonanotte scored the only goal. This loss marked their third defeat in four matches, although the other two were against Chelsea and Liverpool.

Recently, top-half teams have proven challenging for Bournemouth, as all of their last ten league victories have come against teams ranked 11th or lower. They haven't won any of their last 11 matches against top-half sides. Furthermore, Bournemouth suffered a 3-0 defeat at the Emirates in May, marking their fourth consecutive loss to Arsenal, who scored at least three goals in each of those matches.
