The additional victories have come over Wolverhampton Wanderers away and Chelsea at home.
Statistics show Arsenal are undefeated in 31 of their last 36 Premier League matches.
They have won 6 of their last 7 home Premier League games but have kept only 2 clean sheets in their 6 most recent league matches on home soil.
Bournemouth travel to the Emirates Stadium having recorded a good 3-0 home win over Brighton in the Premier League last weekend.
The Cherries scored their first goal in the 13th minute to lead 1-0 at half-time.
Into the second half and Bournemouth extended their advantage with a goal in the 52nd minute and secured maximum points with a third goal 3 minutes from time.

There was a 1-0 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers plus a 2-2 draw at home with Manchester United.
Trends show Bournemouth are undefeated in 3 of their last 5 away Premier League games.
However, they have won only 2 of their last 8 league matches on the road. Bournemouth have scored at least 1 goal in all their last 14 away games in all competitions.
Looking ahead to the team news and Arsenal have just one injury doubt with Jurrien Timber close to a return to the first team following a long term issue.
Bournemouth make the trip to the capital without suspended defender Milos Kerkez. Romain Faivre, Luis Sinisterra, Marcus Tavernier, and Ryan Fredericks are injured plus there are doubts over the fitness of Tyler Adams and Chris Mepham.
Bournemouth have a goal in them and we predict both teams to score in this game. However, no defeats can be found in Arsenal's 8 most recent games against Bournemouth in all competitions.
With The Gunners pushing for the title and in good form, it should be the hosts that come out on top.
