Monday evening’s game from the Emirates Stadium sees title chasing Arsenal face a Bournemouth side who are currently enjoying a six game unbeaten run.

The hosts suffered a shock defeat to Southampton on Boxing Day, with the South Coast side putting four past Petr Cech, who’s wait for a record one hundred and seventieth Premier League clean sheet continues.

However, victory for the Gunners here would see the Gunners move to the top of the table with leaders Leicester City playing title favourites Manchester City on Tuesday evening.

The hosts have no fresh injury worries, though Calum Chambers, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Alex Iwobi are pushing for starts after all three impressed as substitutes last time out.

Olivier Giroud is favourite to get the first goal of the game at 4.5 (7/2) with Betfair, with Theo Walcott a 6.0 (5/1) chance with Paddy Power.

The home win is 1.47 (40/85) with Bet Victor, with the visitors as highly priced as the 8.5 (15/2) on offer from William Hill, who have the draw at 4.8 (19/5).

Eddie Howe’s side remain in fourteenth place after extending their unbeaten run with a goalless draw with Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Despite their form, the Cherries are just three points above the relegation zone though victory here could see them end the day just three points off the top six should other results fall in their favour.

Harry Arter may feature despite being subbed off at half-time against Palace and Lee Tomlin could feature though Josh King is unavailable.

Glenn Murray is 13.0 (12/1) to open the scoring with Betfair ahead of Junior Stanislas, who is a 21.0 (20/1) shot with Bet 365.

The two sides have met just once before, with the North London side running out 3-0 winners in a League Cup clash at Highbury back in 1987.

Bournemouth have won their last two games on the road, including their famous win at champions Chelsea just over three weeks ago and you can back another shock away win to nil here at a very generous price of 17.0 (16/1) with Coral.
