Newly-promoted Bournemouth will host an on-fire Arsenal at Vitality Stadium today (Saturday), with Mikel Arteta keen on maintaining his side’s 100 per cent record this season.
The main aim for Parker and his men would be to sustain the strong challenge of the Premier League, although the current list of fixtures may not offer too much hope.

After Manchester City and Arsenal, the Cherries next face Liverpool, although there is some level of reprieve in store after that.
Arteta will be pleased with how his team has begun the season. Arsenal and Manchester City are the only remaining teams with a 100 per cent record after two matchdays. The Gunners followed up on their opening night victory over Crystal Palace with a star showing against Leicester City last weekend.
The fixture also marked a sensational home debut for new arrival Gabriel Jesus, who ended the game with a brace and two assists.
Arteta could not have asked for a better display from his star attacker, although he will be keen on motivating Arsenal to maintain momentum and put themselves in a strong position before taking on Manchester United in Gameweek 6.
For Saturday, Arteta will be eager to avoid any surprises from Bournemouth, as he targets three points again.
