Paul Merson and Chris Sutton agree on prediction for Arsenal's clash against Bournemouth

Arsenal's season has got off to a flying start.

After spending in excess of £110 million in the summer transfer window, Mikel Arteta's side are one of just two Premier League teams to win their opening two league fixtures. The Gunners clinched a crucial 2-0 victory away to Crystal Palace a fortnight ago before defeating Leicester City 4-2 at the Emirates Stadium last weekend thanks to a Gabriel Jesus masterclass, with the Brazilian scoring twice and providing a further two assists in a stunning display.

Next up for the north Londoners is newly-promoted Bournemouth, a match that Arsenal hero Paul Merson predicts they will come out on top. Writing for Sportskeeda, Merson said: "Bournemouth started the season with three points against Aston Villa but were blown away by Manchester City last weekend. Arsenal have been one of the most impressive sides so far in the Premier League this season and have played brilliant football against Crystal Palace and Leicester City, so I expect them to go to the Vitality Stadium and make it three wins from three.
