[Team] Arsenal vs Lyon: Confirmed Line-Up

Arsenal continue their pre-season preparations when they take on French outfit Lyon in the Emirates Cup this afternoon.

Arsene Wenger has named a mixed side for the game with Emi Martinez given his chance in goal as David Ospina isn’t back from his holidays yet, Wojciech Szczesny is set to secure a loan to Roma while Petr Cech will have to wait to make his debut at the Emirates.

We have a very experienced back four with Mathieu Debuchy, Per Mertesaker, Laurent Koscielny and Kieran Gibbs lining up together at the back.

Aaron Ramsey partners Francis Coquelin in midfield while youngster Alex Iwobi starts in attack alongside Mesut Ozil, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Olivier Giroud.

Here is the team:

Arsenal

Martinez, Debuchy, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Gibbs, Coquelin, Ramsey, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ozil, Iwobi, Giroud

Subs: Cech, Gabriel, Monreal, Chambers, Bellerin, Hayden, Arteta, Cazorla, Reine-Adelaide, Walcott, Akpom

Let’s hope for a good game, a win and most importantly….no injuries!
