Arsenal have once again stuttered in November as Arsène Wenger’s side have slipped from joint-top of the league in October to fourth. Victory is imperative against Bournemouth to produce a much-needed shot in the arm heading into the congested Christmas period. Eddie Howe will be the much more relaxed of the two managers, his side have exceeded expectation this season and, in only their third league meeting with Arsenal, would love to add to Wenger’s traditional autumnal woes.
