SAN JOSE, Calif. -- The hype of MLS All-Star Week arrives at a crescendo on Thursday afternoon, as Arsenal FC and the MLS All-Star team face off in the 2016 AT&T MLS All-Star Game at Avaya Stadium in San Jose.
Arsenal, who despite missing some key players due to their participation in big summer international tournaments both in Europe and the USA, bring a loaded roster on their west coast preseason tour. Goalkeeper Petr Cech and midfielder Jack Wilshere headline a team that will want to build momentum ahead of its Premier League opener on August 14 against rivals Liverpool.
