Arsenal vs Bournemouth
Arsenal open their hectic pre-season account against Bournemouth in the first of three friendlies stateside.
Following their contest with the Cherries, the Gunners will then take on Manchester United in the early hours of Sunday morning before a clash with Liverpool at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
Arsenal have taken a 26-man squad to the US which includes the likes of Gabriel Jesus, Martin Odegaard and Ben White.
But several first-team regulars are missing following their exploits at the European Championships and Copa America. They include Bukayo Saka, David Raya, Declan Rice, Aaron Ramsdale and William Saliba.
As for Bournemouth, this is their second pre-season outing following their clash with League One Wrexham, where Marcos Senesi’s equaliser secured a 1-1 draw for Andoni Iraola’s side.

Arsenal vs Bournemouth betting tips and predictions
Top Cherries
Getting competitive minutes into the legs will be Arsenal and Bournemouth’s main assignment in this encounter, but Mikel Arteta did insist that “winning games” was his goal during this visit to the USA. However, their list of absentees is much larger than their opponents, who have the added benefit of having already blown off the cobwebs against Wrexham. So we’re predicting the Cherries to win with both sides getting on the scoresheet.
