Pundit and former Chelsea striker, Chris Sutton, has predicted the possible outcome of Saturday’s Premier League (PL) clash between league leader, Arsenal and relegation-threatened Bournemouth.
The Gunners, who are currently 5 points clear at the top of the English league, welcome the Cherries to the Emirates Stadium, looking to win their fourth consecutive league fixture.
Prior to this anticipated encounter against Bournemouth, Mikel Arteta’s men defeated Aston Villa, Leicester City and Everton to leapfrog champion, Man City after initially losing three out of 4 games played in all competitions

Chelsea legend, Sutton, while discussing Arsenal’s upcoming tie against Bournemouth, hailed the “relentless” Gunners for their exploits so far this season.
He also said they have been brilliant since losing to Man City and went on to say he fancied the north London Club to beat Gary O’Neil’s side easily and go to 63 points.
“Arsenal have been brilliant since they lost to Manchester City, winning three out of three.
“They are relentless and, the way the Gunners are playing, you have to fancy them strongly to win this one too,” Sutton told the BBC.
Arsenal with a win will maintain a 5 points lead at the top of the league no matter the outcome of the game between their nearest rivals, Man City and fifth-placed Newcastle in the early kick-off on Saturday.
It will also mean Odegaard and company have won their 20th league game after playing 26 games, they would have also won 4 games in a row after their blip.
Meanwhile, the Cherries may return to the bottom of the table with a loss if Southampton pick up a win against Leicester on Sunday.
