Bournemouth manager Scott Parker has backed Arsenal to be "right up there" in the Premier League standings come the end of the season. It comes ahead of the clash between the two sides this weekend, where Mikel Arteta will be hoping his men can make it three wins from three.
It would cement an impressive start for the Gunners, showing a complete turnaround from last season's opening trio of losses that left them bottom of the league. There was an impressive turnaround for the north London outfit, but there was one loss too many as they just missed out on a top four finish to rivals Tottenham.
However, with momentum moving in the right direction on the whole, Arteta has received yet more backing in his attempt to achieve his vision for the club. A further £100million has been sunk into transfers for the squad, with yet more quality and depth added to the ranks.
