But they have it all to do in the French capital this upcoming Wednesday after losing the opening leg 1-0 on their own patch. With that said, you wouldn&#8217;t blame the Gunners for making wholesale changes.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, only Jurrien Timber and Mikel Merino made way for Ben White and Thomas Partey, the latter having been suspended midweek. After seeing Liverpool, their next opponents, crowned English champions last weekend, securing second place for a third consecutive season has become Arsenal&#8217;s main domestic objective. There is a seven-point gap to sixth-place Nottingham Forest with four matches remaining.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, game-changing options from the bench aren&#8217;t exactly plentiful (save for the aforementioned Merino, teenager Ethan Nwaneri, and inconsistent Raheem Sterling), so Arteta&#8217;s going with his strongest possible eleven was the wise decision, though it ultimately didn&#8217;t pay off.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">FT: Arsenal 1-2 Bournemouth<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal have lost a Premier League home game in which they were leading at half time for the first time since January 2022 vs Manchester City. ?<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ARSBOU?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ARSBOU<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bet365?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@bet365<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AD?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AD<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/9OB3p6Tuuq\">pic.twitter.com\/9OB3p6Tuuq<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Squawka Live (@Squawka_Live) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Squawka_Live\/status\/1918733854682001764?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 3, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>It was, as the cliche goes, essentially a game of two halves. Rice, a strong contender to be named the club&#8217;s most valuable player (though Bukayo Saka has a strong case), opened the scoring just over ten minutes before halftime. For a third straight Premier League game, skipper Martin Odegaard produced an assist; this is as many assists as in his previous 20 appearances in the competition.<\/p>\n<p>Odegaard, who missed a chunk of this campaign early on due to an ankle injury, would be the first to admit he is not performing at the level many expect from him, although four assists from his last seven Premier League appearances suggest it is not a complete write-off.<\/p>\n<p>Renowned for his ability to screen the defence and expertly retain and recycle possession, this is now Rice&#8217;s best goalscoring season in all competitions across his senior career (eight). Being a threat from deep has added a new dimension to Arsenal&#8217;s game, and more than ever, their success rests on whether he is playing well.<\/p>\n<p>But you can understand why many felt disappointed with his performance against PSG a few days earlier. One goalscoring opportunity was created, but it wasn&#8217;t a &#8220;big chance,&#8221; while completing one take-on from five attempts. He also did not produce a single attempt on goal, despite predominantly playing in the same area as Leandro Trossard, who had three attempts with two on target.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Martin \u00d8degaard has registered an assist in his three consecutive Premier League games for the first time in his career. ?\ufe0f?\ufe0f?\ufe0f <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/PASdoBwi8e\">pic.twitter.com\/PASdoBwi8e<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Squawka Live (@Squawka_Live) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Squawka_Live\/status\/1918720120064557537?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 3, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The fact that Trossard occupied the same space is explained by his utilisation as the Gunners&#8217; &#8220;false nine,&#8221; with him often dropping between the midfield and attacking lines. It was the same again today with Gabriel Martinelli, stationed as the left winger, often Arsenal&#8217;s furthest man upfield.<\/p>\n<p>In the first half against Andoni Iraola&#8217;s side, only Rice (3) had more attempts on goal than Trossard (2). Both players hit the target once, with Rice&#8217;s attempt being successful. It was a prelude to another standout game from the England international who, in Rodri&#8217;s absence, has arguably taken on the mantle of the league&#8217;s premier &#8220;number six.&#8221; He previously cited his biggest strength as breaking up play and taking the ball from deep; he made a team-high two successful tackles and won seven duels, but Rice is one man.<\/p>\n<p>A mere 120 seconds after coming on after the hour mark, Antoine Semenyo found the impressive Spanish centre-back, Dean Huijsen, to convert Bournemouth&#8217;s equaliser. Defending set pieces is becoming a problem for the Gunners\u2014one simple throw into the six-yard box, and Huijsen is the only player to attack it. He connects with a clever header, which finds its way into the bottom corner.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-page__title\">Dabble sign-up offer: <b data-stringify-type=\"bold\">Bet \u00a310+ &amp; Receive \u00a310 In Free Bets<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><strong>Not signed up to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/dabble-sign-up-offer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dabble<\/a> yet?

More concerning is the fact that they have left the door ajar. Third-place Manchester City, who have also played 35 matches, are three points behind with three games remaining. The gap to fourth-place Newcastle is five points, with the Magpies yet to play this weekend. Chelsea, in fifth place, are seven points back with a game in hand, and the same is true for Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\n<p>If you throw Aston Villa, who are seventh but level with Forest and Chelsea despite having played a game more, it comes down to six clubs battling for four spots and, crucially, that coveted runners-up place.<\/p>\n<p>As for Bournemouth, who have completed a league double over Arsenal, they move into eighth spot, their away record doing much of the heavy lifting.
