This is also Arsenal’s first encounter of their preseason tour in the United States, and there is considerable interest in how they will perform.

During the offseason thus far, Arsenal’s most notable move has been the €31.9 million buyout of goalkeeper Raya; additionally, Tierney has returned from his loan spell to rejoin Arsenal.
In a series of friendly matches this summer, Arsenal will face teams such as Bournemouth, Manchester United, Liverpool, and Bayer Leverkusen. Apart from Bournemouth, who are generally considered to be of average strength, the remaining opponents are quite strong, making these warm-up matches highly valuable for the Gunners.
In the 2023-24 season, Bournemouth finished the Premier League with 13 wins, 9 draws, and 16 losses, accumulating 48 points and ranking 12th in the league, placing them among the lower mid-table teams in the Premier League. During the current offseason, Bournemouth have made significant moves, including the €2.27 million acquisition of goalkeeper Alex Poulson, the €23.4 million buyout of Sisto, and the €16.5 million buyout of Unal. Jebbison joined on a free transfer, while H-Traoré returned to the team after his loan spell ended.
In the last 15 encounters between the two teams, Arsenal have dominated with 12 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss.
