The Premier League returns for Matchday seven on Saturday with a stacked lineup featuring eight matches. The action spills over to Sunday and Monday as Nottingham Forest hosts Brentford and Chelsea travels to Fulham. I have three bets that I’m locked in on for this weekend’s play, so let’s dive right into Bournemouth vs. Arsenal.

Premier League Matchday 7 Preview & Best Bets: Bournemouth vs. Arsenal

Bournemouth (+475) vs. Arsenal (-175), DRAW (+340) | 2.5 (-160/+130)
Arsenal has been busy playing domestically in the Premier League and Carabao Cup as well as on the international front in the Champions League. The Gunners hit the road this weekend and head to Bournemouth, where they’ll take on the 0-3-3 Cherries. Kickoff is scheduled for Saturday at 10:00 a.m. ET from Vitality Stadium.
The only reason that I don’t want to lay 1.5 goals in this spot is due to the heavy workload that Mikel Arteta’s men are under right now. Under normal circumstances, I’d say the Gunners win this game by multiple goals easily. However, with a lingering UCL tie against Lens on Tuesday, I’ll play it conservative and just go -1.0, leaving us push potential.
Simply put, Arsenal is much more talented than Bournemouth. The Cherries have the potential to be relegated this season as they enter this weekend with the fifth-shortest odds to be sent down (+275). The main issue with them has been the inability to score considering they’ve managed just five goals, the third-lowest mark in the top flight. Arsenal is in great form right now and I think they’ll be able to escape this match with a 2-0 (or maybe 1-0) victory.
Bet: Arsenal -1.0 (-115)
