Arsenal are the only team that pushed Manchester City to the limit last season before falling late in the season to allow Pep Guardiola side to triumph again. They have been quiet in the transfer window but a few names have been linked with them. Most of their players who featured last season are expected to play a good chunk of games in preseason where they will face Manchester United, Liverpool, Bayer Leverkusen and Lyon too.
Andoni Iraola did some brilliant work with Bournemouth last season after taking charge of the team midway through the season but they’ll need to build on that outing starting with snapping a five-game losing sequence against the Gunners, who put seven past Bournemouth in two top-flight fixtures last term. After the Arsenal friendly, they have other friendlies against Spanish foes in Rayo Vallecano and Girona.

Team News
Bukayo Saka, David Raya, Declan Rice, Aaron Ramsdale or William Saliba will sit out of this game after they were given extended rests following their participation in Euro 2024. Gabriel Magalhaes, Gabriel Martinelli and Kai Havertz will not be available for the Bournemouth battle either, but the trio could make their returns against Liverpool on July 31, while Kieran Tierney (hamstring) and Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee) have both been left behind due to injury. Ben White and Martin Odegaard will be among the first-team regulars involved.
As for Bournemouth, Iraola confirmed last week that luckless USA midfielder Tyler Adams has been forced to undergo an operation on a back injury and will miss the start of the new season, while left-back Owen Bevan strained a muscle in the Wrexham draw and is facing weeks out too. Enes Unal (foot) completes a trifecta of Cherries injuries, while Colombia’s Luis Sinisterra and New Zealand’s Alex Paulsen are unavailable due to international commitments; the latter is competing at the Olympic Games.
Probable Line-Up
Arsenal XI: Hein (GK), White, Timber, Kiwior, Zinchenko, Odegaard, Partey, Smith Rowe, Vieira, Nketiah, Jesus
AFC Bournemouth XI: Travers (GK), Smith, Mepham, Hill, Kerkez, Cook, Scott, Semenyo, Billing, Tavernier, Solanke
Verdict
In their recent meetings, Arsenal has always scored more than two goals against Bournemouth and this shouldn’t be different.
Bet on Over 2.5 Goals❌
Reason: Arsenal might be missing a chunk of their first-team players but this is a game that they should still be able to score more goals.

BTTS✅
Reason: Arsenal might be a class ahead of their Premier League rivals but they are still to hit the proper gear and this might see Bournemouth give them a few problems.
Arsenal Win❌
Reason: The presence of Odegaard and a few first-team players should give the Mikel Arteta side an edge over their opponents.
