Speaking of the club’s home pre-season friendly, City head coach Lee Johnson said: “It will be great to test ourselves against Premier League opposition and to show the work we have put in across pre-season.
"It should be a great and exciting game!"
Bournemouth finished 12th in the Premier League last season.
Ticketing information will be released in due course.
