Arsenal FC news: Predicted Gunners line up for Emirates Cup clash v Benfica

The Emirates Cup gets underway on Saturday, with Arsenal hoping to win the friendly competition for the fifth time.

The Gunners will be joined by RB Leipzig, Sevilla and Benfica in north London, and they start their campaign against the latter side.

On Sunday they come up against Sevilla, and the team with most points at the end of the weekend claims the overall title.

Alexis Sanchez, Shkodran Mustafi and Hector Bellerin will miss the entire Emirates Cup as they reported back late for training due to international commitments throughout the summer, while Gabriel, Jack Wilshere and Santi Cazorla are all out injured.
