Arsenal host Bournemouth in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon, just days before the second leg of their Champions League semi-final tie against Paris Saint-Germain.

The Gunners will be hoping to strengthen their grip on second place in the Premier League, while a victory over the Cherries could see them secure a top-five finish.

If either Nottingham Forest or Chelsea were to lose this weekend, three points against Andoni Iraola’s men would guarantee Champions League qualification for next season for Mikel Arteta’s side.

Arsenal lost 1-0 to PSG in midweek in N5, meaning the North Londoners have a mountain to climb in the second leg at the Parc des Princes.

Before they can focus on Paris, the Gunners have a tricky fixture against one of the league’s surprise packages to conquer.

The south coast outfit have, however, suffered a dip in form of late, winning just one of their last eleven matches in all competitions in normal time.
