The Gunners’ traditional curtain-raiser takes place this afternoon as French club Lyon travel to north London for the Emirates Cup.
It has been a very decent pre-season so far for Arsenal, who cruised past Bayer Leverkusen in midweek after a solid tour of the United States.
Mikel Arteta is tasked with building another challenge for the Premier League title and this is his last chance to get a look at his squad before the opener against Wolves next weekend.
Riccardo Calafiori is set to make his debut, with the Italian currently the sole new signing in the summer transfer window.
Lyon are also facing their final friendly before Ligue 1 begins and they laid down a marker with a four-goal win at Union Berlin last time out. It promises to be an intriguing match-up at the Emirates Stadium.
