Arsenal can match their best winning streak of the 2025-26 season when they return to Premier League action against Bournemouth at the Emirates on Saturday lunchtime

Arsenal are just one victory away from equalling their best Premier League winning run of the 2025-26 campaign as they welcome Bournemouth to the Emirates for Saturday's lunchtime fixture. The Gunners have strung together four successive league triumphs, while the Cherries have established themselves as draw experts, chalking up five straight stalemates in the top tier.

With cup disappointment and European progress commanding the headlines, Arsenal's league standing has somewhat slipped under the radar. Mikel Arteta's outfit have compiled four consecutive Premier League successes to surpass the 70-point threshold, dispatching Tottenham, Chelsea, Brighton and Everton along the way. In their most recent outing against Everton, Viktor Gyokeres converted from close quarters before Max Dowman netted a landmark strike, as Arsenal stretched their cushion over Manchester City to nine points - though having contested an additional match.

Saturday's encounter concludes a nearly month-long interval before Arsenal's next league assignment. They have already managed five straight Premier League victories on two occasions this term, and only during 2013-14 and 2022-23 have they achieved three separate sequences of five or more league wins within a single season. While hopes of EFL Cup and FA Cup glory may have faded, Arsenal find themselves in a strong position in Europe following Tuesday's hard-earned 1-0 first-leg victory against Sporting Lisbon, with the return fixture at the Emirates scheduled for next Wednesday. Before thoughts turn to a potential semi-final clash with Atletico Madrid, Arteta's side are chasing an eighth consecutive home victory across all competitions, with six of their last seven Emirates outings producing at least two Arsenal goals.

It promises to be a Basque-versus-Basque encounter at 12:30pm, with Andoni Iraola looking to steer Bournemouth towards their longest unbeaten Premier League run. The visitors have gone 11 league matches without defeat — their finest such sequence in the top flight — though seven of those fixtures have ended in draws, including each of the last five.

Bournemouth shared the spoils with West Ham, Sunderland, Brentford, Burnley and Manchester United prior to the international break, results that have done little to alter their 13th-place standing yet have kept faint European aspirations flickering. A four-point deficit to seventh-placed Brentford remains within reach, and Iraola's men are unbeaten across their last five away league outings, despite their most recent two trips ending goalless. The Cherries have proved troublesome opponents for Arsenal since the beginning of last season, claiming victory on two occasions during that spell - notably a surprise 2-1 triumph at the Emirates last spring, marking their maiden away success against the Gunners. Arsenal, though, had the final say in January with a thrilling 3-2 victory at the Vitality Stadium, where Declan Rice netted twice to clinch all three points, reports the Mirror.
