Arsenal Hosts Lyon in Final Pre-Season Match

Arsenal is gearing up for their final pre-season match this weekend as they take on Lyon at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners delivered a standout performance last time, thrashing Bayer Leverkusen with a 4-1 victory, which is sure to boost their confidence ahead of the new season.

This match is particularly important for Arsenal, as they look to finalize their lineup and build team chemistry before the Premier League begins next week. Manager Mikel Arteta will likely field a stronger squad, considering he has most of his key players back, ready to hit the ground running.

Fans will be excited to see how their team shapes up on the pitch. This is the first time Arsenal will face Lyon in over 20 years, with their last encounter dating back to 2001. The last match saw Arsenal claim victory with a 1-0 win in Lyon.

For those wanting to catch the action, the game will be live-streamed on Arsenal’s official website for £4.99, but unfortunately, it won’t be available in France. In France, viewers can watch via myCANAL and Canal+ Foot.

While most of the squad is available, Arsenal will be missing Jurrien Timber and Takehiro Tomiyasu due to injuries. However, the return of stars like Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice, who recently featured from the bench against Leverkusen, should add fresh energy to the lineup.

On the other side, Lyon is expected to bring a strong team as well, featuring familiar faces like Ainsley Maitland-Niles, who will be welcomed back at the Emirates. He recently scored in their last game, and his performance could add to the excitement of the match.

With both teams looking to finish their pre-season on a high note, fans can anticipate an action-packed afternoon of football. Arsenal is coming off a great performance against Bayer Leverkusen, and the atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium is sure to be electric.
