Arsenal face Lyon in the first match of the Dubai Super Cup as the Premier League leaders prepare for the season to restart.

The Gunners are taking part in the four-team exhibition tournament, which also includes Liverpool and AC Milan, in a bid to rebuild match fitness ahead of their next competitive match on Boxing Day.

The first half of the season couldn’t really have gone better for Arsenal, but Mikel Arteta has been rocked in recent days by Gabriel Jesus’s serious knee injury sustained at the World Cup.

Eddie Nketiah will be tasked to fill the goalscoring void, and the 23-year-old striker will hope to fill his boots in Arsenal’s two Dubai Super Cup matches, although he is missing a number of senior teammates who are still in action at Qatar 2022.

Lyon, traditionally one of the powerhouses of French football, only won six of their 15 Ligue 1 matches before the World Cup break – but Laurent Blanc’s side should provide a decent standard of opposition for the Gunners.
