Arsenal vs Fiorentina LIVE
International Champions Cup 2019
Venue: Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte, North Carolina
Kick-off time: 6pm EDT, 11pm BST
Live stream: Premier Sports 1
Arsenal are looking for their second International Champions Cup win of the summer as Unai Emery's Gunners face Fiorentina in North Carolina.
While it has been something of a chaotic pre-season off the pitch for Arsenal, the north London club have been in impressive form on it with a routine 3-0 win over Colorado Rapids before surprising Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich.
Eddie Nketiah struck late on to seal a 2-1 win over Bayern to earn Arsenal three ICC points, and they are looking for another three against Italian outfit Fiorentina on Saturday night.

Arsenal are without club captain Laurent Koscielny, who refused to travel to the US. Alex Iwobi and Mohamed Elneny are also absent after their exertions at the Africa Cup of Nations, while Krystian Bielik, Matteo Guendouzi, and Lucas Torreira are also unavailable.
Rob Holding, Hector Bellerin and Konstantinos Mavropanos are all still recovering from injury, meanwhile.
Prediction: Arsenal 3-1 Fiorentina
This prediction comes with the usual precursor that the result could largely depend on both sides' relative levels of fitness, but Emery will be confident of another victory as he juggles his options in a bid to get his full squad game-time in the States.
