But for now, attention turns back to the Premier League title race, where they hold a nine-point advantage to second-placed Manchester City, who have a game in hand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
And with City facing a tricky match away at Chelsea on Sunday, the Gunners have every opportunity to open their title race advantage to a near-unassailable 12 points.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Their first task, though, will be to get past Andoni Iraola\u2019s Cherries, and Mikel Arteta may be without several first-team players for the match.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Arteta may have to rely on some fringe players, then, as he chases an important three points. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
