L!VESTREAM: Wa¥ch Arsenal vs Ath bibao| Preseason friendly|Engl!sh commentary 


Arsenal bring their pre-season campaign to an end as they host La Liga side Athletic Bilbao in the Emirates Cup on Saturday afternoon.


Returning to home action last time out, the Gunners failed to impress in front of their fans as they lost 3-2 to Villarreal. Former record signing Nicolas Pepe and youngster Karl Etta Eyong had the Yellow Submarine in control in the first half and despite fightbacks from Mikel Arteta’s side, the visitors took the victory.


Bilbao also fell to defeat in their latest outing, losing a double-header game against Liverpool. Taking on the Premier League champions twice in the space of three hours, the Spanish side lost 4-1 and 3-2.


Arteta will be hoping his side can bounce back from two consecutive pre-season defeats as they look to end their pre-season with a win. Arsenal will also have the chance to win their ninth Emirates Cup, having won the last three editions against Sevilla, Monaco and Lyon.


Here’s our preview of Arsenal’s clash with Athletic Bilbao.

Arsenal team news

Gabriel Magalhaes and Jurrien Timber made their returns from injury against Villarreal and are likely to be involved in some capacity once again on Saturday.


Leandro Trossard, Kai Havertz and Riccardo Calafiori all missed Wednesday’s defeat, but are hoping to be fit for the matchup with Villarreal. Their respective comebacks could mean potential shifts to the attacking and defensive set-up.


New signing Viktor Gyokeres is likely to continue in the starting XI and will be looking to be among the goals after a frustrating display last time out. Youngster Max Dowman could be in contention to play a bigger role following another impressive display.


Athletic Bilbao team news


Having had a quiet summer, Athletic Bilbao will boast just one new signing for their trip to the Emirates, in the form of right back Jesus Areso.
