Orlando City vs Arsenal

The Lions will play an exhibition against the EPL giants in the middle of a crowded fixture schedule.

Early days, but he looks to be the total package at CB.” Takehiro Tomiyasu and Ben White missed out on the match in Baltimore but both look to be back in training.” “Gabriel Jesus has looked really good so far on the tour,” Lerner said. The Mane Land has affiliate partnerships. “Another player to keep an eye on is William Saliba. The Gunners signed him in 2019 but he’s basically been out on loan the entire time since then, which has worked out rather nicely — he was the young player of the season in Ligue Un last year and played all but one match for Marseille. There has been a bit of (manufactured) drama about a potential rift between him and the club/Arteta and a will-he, won’t-he play for Arsenal saga, but Arteta has definitively said he’s part of the plans for this upcoming season. The only “surprises” were that academy players Charlie Patino and Marcelo Flores weren’t included on the trip. The Lions are unbeaten in three games (1-0-2), but also winless in their last two (0-0-2) after a grueling two-game road trip to Colorado and rival Atlanta that both ended in 1-1 draws. Instead, I enlisted the help of Aaron Lerner, the manager of SBNation’s Arsenal site, The Short Fuse. Here’s what he had to say about the Gunners: His ability to press has seen the Gunners pressing much higher up the pitch than they did last season, and it really caused problems for Everton, forcing multiple turnovers in good positions (or bad ones, from Everton’s perspective). That includes rivalry games, key matches in the Eastern Conference playoff chase, and even a U.S. Open Cup semifinal next week against the New York Red Bulls. That’s generally par for the course in a midseason friendly, but it’s been a long time since the Lions have played one — and it’s the first time under the current regime, so there’s no real track record. There will also probably be a few regular starters who inexplicably play a lot more than we want them to tonight.

Arsenal's preseason rolls on in Florida this evening where the Gunners will take on MLS side Orlando City. According to our friends over at The Mane Land, ...

And even though I expect to see a less-talented Orlando City side, I’m guessing their squad players and youngsters will be eager to put in a good shift against a Premier League club. Orlando City are in the midst of a tough stretch of matches and are likely to be resting key players ahead of their U.S. Open Cup semifinal this weekend. It would be nice for the Gunners to get a stiffer test, but they’ve got a match against Chelsea at the weekend and one against Sevilla in London next week for that.
