Arsenal will host Comoon at the Emirates for their final friendly match before the Community Shield.
Manager Mikel Arteta is eager for a victory against the team led by Cesc Fabregas, especially after the Gunners' recent loss to Borussia Dortmund last weekend. A win on Wednesday would serve as excellent preparation for their upcoming match against Manchester City on Sunday.
As Arsenal's pre-season approaches its conclusion, they have recorded one win and two losses in their three official friendlies this summer, with the latest result being a 3-2 defeat to Dortmund.
Arteta is likely to focus less on the scoreline during this phase, as the main goal is to enhance fitness levels and integrate new strategies ahead of the Premier League season.
Nevertheless, there are noticeable gaps in the squad, particularly in the attacking department, which may worry fans. Viktor Gyokeres managed to score from the penalty spot against Dortmund but struggled in various aspects of the game, including connecting with his teammates.
While Arsenal had previously won four consecutive home matches before their defeat to Dortmund, they have experienced two losses and one draw in their last seven games at the Emirates.
In those seven matches, Arsenal scored one goal or fewer in four instances, although they did achieve five clean sheets. Their defensive issues against BVB were not typical of their recent form.
Cesc Fabregas's return to the Emirates promises to be a significant event, despite the fact that his eight years with Arsenal may be overshadowed by his five years spent at rivals Chelsea.
