Mikel Arteta’s side wrapped up an inch-perfect end to 2025 by beating a direct title rival and will now be eager to keep their foot on the gas as they attempt to win their first league title since 2004.
Standing in their way is a Bournemouth side still searching for a first league win in over two months and potentially preparing to say goodbye to Antoine Semenyo, who is strongly linked with a move to Manchester City.

Over 7 Corners
Corners look like a solid angle in this matchup, given the playing styles of both sides and recent trends. Bournemouth’s games have averaged 4.75 goals across their last four league fixtures. Even in their recent 2-2 draw with Chelsea, the Cherries were aggressive early and forced the issue.
Arsenal, meanwhile, are among the most proactive attacking sides in the league and one of their strongest areas of scoring is corners.
With Gabriel Magalhães back from injury and scoring from a corner against Villa, Arsenal will have renewed belief to once again exploit teams from set pieces, making over seven corners a conservative but reliable play.
Tip: Over 7 Corners @ 1/4
Bet explanation: This bet wins if there are at least seven corners in the game between Bournemouth and Arsenal.
Over 1.5 Goals
Goals are expected despite Arsenal’s recent habit of starting cautiously on the road. None of the Gunners’ last four away league games have seen a goal inside the opening 25 minutes, but once matches open up, they tend to assert themselves. Arsenal have scored in 15 of their 16 Premier League meetings with Bournemouth, failing to net just once.
Bournemouth’s defensive record also points towards goals. The Cherries are winless in ten league games (D5, L5) and have conceded regularly during that run, while Arsenal have lost just once in their last 16 league outings and are scoring freely in the second half.
With both sides needing points for very different reasons, over 1.5 goals looks extremely likely.
Tip: Over 1.5 Goals @ 1/5
Bet explanation: This bet wins if there are at least two goals in the game between Bournemouth and Arsenal
Leandro Trossard to Play 2+ Shots
Leandro Trossard continues to be one of Arsenal’s most reliable attacking options this season, particularly in away matches.
The Belgian both scored and assisted in the emphatic win over Aston Villa and now leads Arsenal for assists (4) while also being their joint-top scorer (five) in the league.
Trossard’s tendency to drift into shooting positions late in games makes this market attractive, especially against a Bournemouth side that often concedes territory after half-time. With Arsenal likely to control possession and create sustained attacking phases, 2+ shots from Trossard is well supported by recent form.
Tip: Leandro Trossard to play 2+ shot @ 2/5
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Leandro Trossard plays at least two shots against Bournemouth.
