Arsenal manager Unai Emery is expecting a difficult test from Bournemouth on Sunday afternoon.
The Gunners head into the match in a good run of form but will be well aware of the threat that their opponents will pose, with Eddie Howe’s men performing impressively this season.
Bournemouth are currently sat in sixth place on the Premier League table and trail Arsenal by only four points, with Emery’s men just outside the Champions League places in fifth.
The Spaniard addressed the media ahead of his side’s trip down south on Sunday and was full of praise for the Cherries. As quoted by Arsenal’s official club website, the manager said:
I know that we are going to have to play at a very high level in order to get the three points because Bournemouth are doing some great work, they have some fantastic players.
I think that most of all, they have that confidence at the moment which is making them a truly tough proposition.
The North London outfit have lost only twice in the Premier League this term and will be desperate to extend their recent unbeaten run.
However, as Emery is well aware of, Bournemouth will be no pushovers and Arsenal will need to be at their best if they are to come away from the Vitality Stadium with all three points.
