Dugout Discussion – Bournemouth vs Arsenal

The first of two Sunday fixtures gets underway at 1.30pm as Bournemouth welcome Arsenal to the Vitality Stadium.

Both sides have failed to pick up a clean sheet over the previous four Gameweeks, with the Cherries ranked bottom for both big chances conceded (12) and goals against (10).

That could be good news for the Gunners’ Alexandre Lacazette, who has failed to score in each of his last seven league outings.

Despite that recent drought, the Frenchman is the top captaincy pick for this match among Fantasy Premier League managers and ninth overall, claiming 2.2% of armbands.

However, there’s no spot in the squad for Alexis Sanchez as speculation over his future gathers pace in the January transfer window.

Elsewhere for the Gunners, Aaron Ramsey returns to the bench after recovering from a hamstring problem – he averaged 5.4 points per match (ppm) prior to injury.

Arsenal recent lack of resilience also looks promising for Eddie Howe’s side.

The Cherries were ranked first for shots inside the box (50) over the previous four, with Callum Wilson in fine form – only Harry Kane managed more shots on target (10 to seven).

And Jordon Ibe also boasts some eye-catching underlying stats – he ranked second for both shots (17) and key passes (13) over Gameweek 19-22.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      Worked hard, headed a corner to rooney who headed in but was offside. Had a nice flick on towards rooney with his feet as well, hopefully they can become a good partnership. But wasn't pacy enough to trouble the spurs backline on his own. And Everton don't look like creating much, more defensive minded since Big Sam came along. If on a WC i'd try to get Kane+Kün and maybe Wilson as a cheap 3rd striker. Bournemouths fixtures are just as good as evertons
