Arsenal vs Bournemouth prediction, odds, tips & team news
Arsenal will be looking to tighten their grip on a place in the Premier League‘s top five when they host Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday 3rd May at 5:30pm. The Gunners hold a comfortable lead over the other teams in the Champions League battle, but aren’t secure just yet. Bournemouth are seeking a top half finish, which may be enough to be playing some form of European football next season. This game will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Premier League.
Justin Kluivert Over 0.5 Shots on Target (23/20 with 10bet)
Justin Kluivert has had a great season with Bournemouth and has 12 Premier League goals to his name since the start of the campaign. When it comes to shots on target, he has done so in 20 of his 26 league starts for the club and even with Arsenal the opponents on Saturday, 23/20 looks like a massive price.
Tyler Adams to Commit 2+ fouls & be carded (11/2 with Sky Bet)
Tyler Adams embodies exactly what Andoni Iraola demands from his midfielders—relentless energy, aggression, and a willingness to disrupt. The U.S. international thrives in that role, and the numbers back it up: he’s committed at least two fouls in eight of his last nine appearances across all competitions.
Bournemouth, under Iraola, lead the Premier League in fouls committed—a clear indicator of their high-pressing, combative style. Adams has also picked up a booking in each of his last three games. With that in mind, a bet on him to receive a card and commit two or more fouls again looks tempting at 11/2 with Sky Bet.

How both teams go into Arsenal vs Bournemouth
Following their defeat to PSG on Tuesday, Arsenal must remain focused to ensure they do not lose their spot in the top four this season. That’s unlikely to happen, and the Gunners are unbeaten in their past seven in the league, but this game will with the second leg of their Champions League semi-final next week, they may choose to rotate here.
Bournemouth were being backed by some to crash the European party, whatever the level of competition they would qualify for. But the Cherries are now on the outside looking in. A poor run of form with just one win in their past nine league games leaves Bournemouth seven points behind seventh with four games left to play. They may have a slim chance of European football, but they’ll need to be perfect starting with a tough trip to the Emirates.
