Tricky test for Gunners as Premier League title race gets back underway

Arsenal have an opportunity to open up a 12-point lead at the top of the Premier League table when they face Bournemouth at lunchtime.

In the four weeks since their 2-0 win over Everton, the Gunners have advanced to the Champions League quarter-finals and then won the first leg of that tie away at Sporting.

However, they also lost the Carabao Cup final to Manchester City and were knocked out of the FA Cup by Southampton, seeing their quadruple hopes cut to double dreams.

The Gunners need momentum, because City appear to be building up a head of steam ahead of their final eight league games of the captain.

Arsenal vs Bournemouth is scheduled for a 12.30pm BST kick-off today, Saturday, April 11, 2026.

The match will take place at the Emirates Stadium in north London.

TV channel: In the UK, the game will be televised live on TNT Sports 1, with coverage starting at 11am BST.

Live stream: TNT Sports subscribers can also catch the contest live online via the HBO Max app and website.

Live blog: You can follow all the action on matchday via Standard Sport’s live blog, with expert analysis from Matt Verri at the ground.

Eberechi Eze is back earlier than expected for Arsenal, who could also have the likes of Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, Jurrien Timber and Riccardo Calafiori fit to play.

Piero Hincapie is likely to remain out, along with long-term absentee Mikel Merino.

Bournemouth are set to welcome Eli Junior Kroupi back for the trip to the Emirates, with Alejandro Jimenez and Tyler Adams also in contention.

Justin Kluivert and Lewis Cook are still out, while Julio Soler could be on the bench.

Arsenal vs Bournemouth prediction

Arsenal will need to be at their clinical best against the Cherries, who are stalemate specialists after a remarkable five draws in a row in the Premier League - including three goalless draws.

It will be interesting to see how much Mikel Arteta rotates against a Bournemouth side who are capable of beating any team on their day.

One eye will surely be on the visit of Sporting in the Champions League next Wednesday, but the Gunners head coach will not want to jeopardise the title chances in any way.

Expect a strong Arsenal team as they look to put the game to bed before Arteta takes off more senior stars. But Arsenal are not a team blessed with the creativity required to rack up a big score.
