Arsenal kicks off its preseason tour of the United States on Wednesday night when it faces Bournemouth in Los Angeles.
It will be the third straight season the Gunners have embarked on a preseason tour of the U.S., as Mikel Arteta’s side looks to avoid a third straight Premier League season finishing runner-up behind Man City.
Wednesday’s match against the Cherries will be the first of three games on this tour, with Arsenal staying in L.A. to face Manchester United at SoFi Stadium on Saturday before flying across the country to face Liverpool in Philadelphia on July 31.
After their U.S. tour ends, the Gunners will return home to face Bayer Leverkusen and Lyon in the Emirates Cup.

For Bournemouth, this will be the second match of a two-game tour of the United States. The Cherries drew League One newcomer Wrexham 1-1 on Saturday in Santa Barbara, CA.
After this game, the Cherries return home to face La Liga duo Rayo Vallecano and Girona before their Premier League opener at Nottingham Forest on August 17.
Bournemouth will be without American midfielder Tyler Adams, who is set to be sidelined for several months after undergoing back surgery.
