Arsenal have confirmed that Mikel Arteta’s side will play Juventus on Saturday, December 17th at 18:00 in a friendly at the Emirates Stadium, which is open to the public.

Season-ticket holders can purchase tickets in their usual seats now, before tickets go on sale to other fans next week.

The Gunners had already provided official confirmation of their planned friendly matches in Dubai over the World Cup break. The Gunners will face Lyon on December 8th at 19:30 local time, followed by AC Milan on December 13th at 18:00.

Both matches will be played at the Al Maktoum Stadium, and Arsenal write that more information regarding the streaming of the matches will be released in due course.

In addition to the friendlies listed above, Arsenal will also play a friendly against Watford behind closed doors in the week commencing November 28th, and there’s unconfirmed talk of a fifth friendly the week after the Juventus game.

But neither of those games are likely to be available to the public, so don’t hold your breath for official confirmation of any other fixtures.
