Saturday night in Orlando’s Camping World Stadium will feel like a Premier League London Derby when the Gunners play Chelsea in a preseason “friendly.”
A huge crowd is expected for the game, and I expect neither club will be in a “friendly” mood.
With that said, I expect Mikel Arteta to begin the match with his strongest, available starting XI…
[4-3-3]
Martinelli, Jesus, Saka
Xhaka, Odegaard, Partey
Cedric, Gabriel, Saliba, White
Ramsdale
Not available: Emile Smith Rowe, Kieran Tierney and Takehiro Tomiyasu
Running out of time: Lucas Torreira, Nicolas Pepe, Hector Bellerin, Bernd Leno, Nuno Tavares, Pablo Mari, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Reiss Nelson
See you in Orlando on Saturday night!
