Arsenal Match Centre Archives: 07/2016

Arsenal are set to travel the most out of any other Premier League club during pre-season.

Petr Cech is ‘glad to be back’ training at London Colney ahead of our pre-season match against RC Lens on Friday.

It was one in, one out for Liverpool after they faced Huddersfield Town in pre-season.

While most of the Arsenal squad are relishing the chance to face Didier Drogba in our clash against the MLS All-Stars in the USA, Nacho Monreal is looking forward to playing against another player.

When Arsenal travel to the States in pre-season they will play an MLS All Star team that will *not* feature either Steven Gerrard or Frank Lampard.

All the news lately has been about which players Arsenal are likely to be without for the season opener against Liverpool, but they are not without their problems themselves.

The Ladies defeated Chelsea by two goals to one and now trail the Blues by only two points and Manchester City by three, although they have a game in hand.

Can you believe it’s already time for preseason?

There was a story doing the rounds on Thursday that Arsenal were considering offering Napoli Olivier Giroud and a bucketload of cash for Gonzalo Higuain.

The FA WSL is a surprising league with many twist and turns. The Ladies managed to claw two points back off Chelsea with their 2-0 win against Notts while the Blues drew at home 1-1 against the other Blues.

Aaron Ramsey and Mesut Ozil have made Opta’s best XI of the Euros.

Let me tell you right at the start – Koscielny is my favourite Arsenal player.

The Ladies put a very serious and professional performance to beat Reading Women 3-1 away at the Hive.
