Arsenal vs Lyon preview

Arsenal's pre-season concludes with an Emirates Cup final clash against Lyon on Sunday.

That game brings an end to what has surely been a satisfactory pre-season for Gunners boss Mikel Arteta, who has come through with good results despite missing many of his Euros and Copa America stars.

Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, Aaron Ramsdale, William Saliba and David Raya joined the squad last week, with Saliba and Raya starting in the midweek thumping win over Bayer Leverkusen.

Gunn fire

Arsenal are in a really good place. Judging by the bookies' odds for Premier League title, they're as close to Manchester City as they've ever been heading into a new season.
