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.
Rice and Saka got minutes off the bench and you’d assume they’ll have a bigger part to play here in the final chance to get minutes in the legs ahead of the season opener.
Lyon ran out 4-0 winners over Union Berlin last time out and this is their final preparation game ahead of league business the following weekend.

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.
The win over Leverkusen was emphatic and this could be likewise.
They’ve played two Emirates Cup games against Lyon in the past – a 2-1 loss and a 6-0 win. It could well be closer to the latter.
