The Arsenal XI to face Lyon has been confirmed.
This afternoon marks the return of the Emirates Cup following it's one-year absence and marks the first time head coach Unai Emery has got a taste of this unique pre-season tournament.
The Spanish tactician was expected to name team with a mix of first-team regulars and youngsters for the clash against the Ligue 1 side.
And he's not quite done that.
Of the impressive youngsters from the America tour only Joe Willock gets a start.
Dani Ceballos - signed on a season-long loan deal from Real Madrid on Thursday - has had a couple of training sessions with his new teammates and is there for the bench.
Ainsley Maitland-Niles is back after missing the penalty shootout loss against Real Madrid, while there's also a first start of pre-season for Matteo Guendouzi and Alexandre Lacazette faces his former club.
Arsenal XI: Leno; Maitland-Niles, Chambers, Sokratis, Monreal; Guendouzi, Xhaka; Mkhitaryan, Willock, Aubameyang; Lacazette

What Unai Emery has said:
"I think the first time on the pitch with our supporters - even though it's a friendly match - is very important because I think it's the first moment you can show them every player who is playing with us.
"Young players will be doing possibly their best performance and taking more minutes with us, plus any new players we have signed. I think it's the first moment we can be together and we can be strong for the start of the season.
"Really, I am looking forward to being with our supporters at Emirates Stadium again this pre-season against Olympique Lyonnais.
"They are a team with very young players, a big team in France and in Europe, known for playing with big performances. It’s a team who have played very well for their supporters.
"Playing them will help us to give a big match at the Emirates. They have individually good players, a new coach in Silvinho, who played here as a left back.
"It’s good that he’s coming back here because he played for Arsenal.
"His visit with his team is good for us. They are a big team, with big players. I can enjoy, feel a good moment in this Emirates Cup.
"We are very excited to play in front of our supporters in London."
