DAN Gosling is vowing Cherries will do things “our own way” as they go to Arsenal in search of a landmark result.

Eddie Howe’s side endured a rough ride against some of the Premier League’s giants last season, but Gosling is keen to quash the notion that Cherries can treat these encounters as “free hits”.

Indeed, the midfielder insists his team will travel to north London tomorrow intent on returning home with three points.

Gosling told the Daily Echo: “Wherever we go, we’ll play our own way. That is how the club’s run and how the manager wants to do things.

“All the players buy into it and we go into every game looking to get the ball down, play from the back and cause our opponents problems.

“Every game in this division is extremely difficult, but when you play these sides they have top quality all over the pitch.

“It will be tough – we know that, but we’ll go to Arsenal looking to win the game.”

Conventional wisdom suggests that all teams below those jostling for Champions League spots can approach matches against the division’s heavyweights with something of a devil-may-care attitude.

Cherries, after all, won’t face any flak if they lose at Arsenal. That is a theory Gosling wants to dispel.

“Last year we proved we can beat these sides,” said the 26-year-old. “We won at Chelsea then followed that up by beating Manchester United. We drew with Tottenham last month and could have nicked that as well.

“We’re a side that’s improving all the time and we don’t see these as free hits at all. We have a lot of pace and a lot of good players in our side. We can cause any team problems, so if we take our chances on the day then who knows?”

Cherries’ stirring victory at Stoke last weekend propelled them into the top half of the Premier League table.

But Gosling insists his side are not getting carried away with thoughts of what they can achieve this season.

“It’s very early days and too soon to be thinking about how high we want to finish,” he said. “We’ll get to 40 points then see where we are.

“A couple of wins takes you right up the table but all it takes is a couple of defeats to drop back down.

“We lost to Sunderland and Middlesbrough, two games we were probably favourites to win. Then most people fancied Stoke to beat us but we turned them over.

“It’s up and down. You have to be on it every game. If you don’t turn up, you won’t get anything from the match.”

Cherries’ win at Stoke was also notable for it being the first time this season Gosling had started successive top-flight fixtures.

“I feel I’ve done well over the period I’ve played,” he added. “Obviously I want to play all the time but sometimes it’s not possible.

“You just have to keep doing well when you’re given the chance.”
