Arsenal play their final pre-season friendly of the summer at Emirates Stadium this evening, hosting a Como side managed by former Gunners midfielder Cesc Fabregas. Kick-off is set for 7.30pm.
The match gives Arsenal a last chance to fine-tune their preparations before the new season, with Fabregas returning to North London as a head coach for the first time. Como, recently promoted to Serie A, provide the opposition in what is expected to be a competitive test.
Team news from the Emirates has been confirmed, with Sky Sports reporting that Guimaraes is named on the bench for the match. The rest of the starting lineup was not detailed in the available reports.
Both clubs come into the match after different pre-season campaigns. Arsenal have been building fitness and sharpness under their coaching staff, while Como have used the summer to adapt to Fabregas's methods. The fixture serves as a final rehearsal for both sides before competitive action begins.
