Arsenal's scintillating start to the season could get even better this weekend when Mikel Arteta's side faces what appears to be a lucrative visit to Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon.
Although Scott Parker's side couldn't fight back when Aston Villa came into town on the opening weekend, even the most passionate Bournemouth supporters will surely admit that facing one of the Premier League's top sides is a very different story.
Arsenal has won over Crystal Palace and Leicester this season and is the only two teams alongside Manchester City to have a 100 percent record. It's still early days, of course, but the signs are sure to be promising.
With that in mind, here's everything you need to know about this game.
Date, start time, and location

Bournemouth vs Arsenal Squad News
Parker revealed the hosts will be looking for the late Dominic Solanke after the striker missed last week's loss to Manchester City through injury. Elsewhere, Ryan Fredericks and Joe Rothwell were injured, although Marcos Senesi could make his first start.
Arsenal has signed Fabio Vieira, Emile Smith Rowe, and Cedric Soares for the Under-21 club this week. Arteta will provide more updates on Friday.
Bournemouth vs Arsenal Prediction
The hosts performed quite solidly against Villa, although Arsenal had a completely different challenge. The Gunners will try their possible best to keep their 100% record and this will happen, if only they record a win against Bournemouth.
I will surely go for a straight win for Arsenal but Bournemouth will not make it all that easier for them.
