THE GAME BEGINS!
In the match between Arsenal and Everton, new coach Mikel Arteta, sitting in the stands at Goodison Park, probably imagined Arsenal’s problems.
When he first took office, Arteta shared: `The top priority is to change the team’s energy. Last week, I was here with Man City and felt disappointed. I want everyone in the club to have the same thought.`
Having never led a team before having to take over Arsenal in the darkest moment in history makes Arteta’s ability to succeed greatly questioned.
Many people expect Pep Guardiola’s former assistant to bring beautiful playing style back to the Gunners.
As for the home team, Bournemouth is having a series of disappointing results with 6 defeats in the last 7 matches.
Prediction: Bournemouth 2-3 Arsenal
BOURNEMOUTH (3-5-2): Ramsdale;
