Arsenal face off against Borussia Dortmund in their first summer outing at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday as they look to respond to midweek disappointment.
The Gunners recently thrashed Girona 4–1 during their trip to Catalonia, but Wednesday’s 3–1 loss to Real Betis in Dublin raised a few alarm bells. While preseason performances and results are entirely inconsequential, a lethargic display certainly hasn’t raised morale.
Arsenal players were “fuming” after the defeat, as per Mikel Arteta, and will want to issue a response against Dortmund, who have won two and lost two of their four summer friendlies.
The Premier League champions will face their toughest test yet in the Bundesliga giants, although Niko Kovač is missing some key personnel. Arsenal are undeniable favorites and should get back to winning ways in front of their home supporters.
Here’s how those without a ticket to the weekend’s game can watch the action.
