Standard Liege proved to be no match for Arsenal midweek, after a crushing 4-0 win for the Gunners. This weekend, Arsenal will be facing tougher opposition in Bournemouth and will be looking to go 3rd with a victory.
Bournemouth fans have seen their side have a very good start to the season, as they are sitting in 9th place and will be looking to rise up the table with a win.
If results go the Cherrie’s way it could see them climb to as high as 4th in the league table, which will send the fans into the international break in very positive moods and will get them excited about a possible top 7 finish.
A player that has been a large part of their success is England international Callum Wilson. The striker has managed to score 5 goals already this season in the league, which sees him near the top end of the scoring charts. The Bournemouth player has scored the same amount of league goals this season as Harry Kane and he will be looking to impress England manager Gareth Southgate to try and break into the Three Lions’ line-up.
The 27-year-old striker has managed to score in his last three Premier League games and will be looking to add to this tally against the Gunners on Sunday. It will be the strikers 99th Premier League appearance on Sunday and he will be looking to add to his tally of 38 goals so far in his Premier League career.
This stat means that Wilson averages approximately 0.4 goals a game, but this season he has bettered this average and is averaging at 0.7 goals a game. He has been a large part of why the team from the South have been firing in recent weeks, and this has seen the club go unbeaten in their last 3 league games, and have managed to score 8 goals in these 3 games, meaning Arsenal will have to be very cautious of the striker on Sunday as he has proven he can punish sides to get results for his team.
It will be interesting to see if Arsenal will be able to contain Callum Wilson at the Emirates as if they can do this, it will increase the chances of success and could see the Gunners climb to 3rd in the league and only be a few points off of Manchester City, which will put the North London side in a very good position going into the latest international break.
