Arsenal predicted XI vs Lyon: Tierney starts, Xhaka decision, Zinchenko and Smith Rowe miss out

Arsenal Lyon Mikel Arteta Gabriel Jesus Karl Hein Martin Odegaard Mohamed Elneny Watford Albert Sambi Lokonga Bukayo Saka

Five days after preparations began for the Premier League restart, Arsenal are back in action against Lyon in the Dubai Super Cup.

Last Saturday's behind-closed-doors friendly against Watford saw members of the Gunners' senior squad not at the World Cup get their first run out since the 2-0 victory away at Wolves - a result which confirmed their spot as the Christmas number one - almost a month ago.

As a result, today's meeting with Lyon, who could hand starts to Alexandre Lacazette and Houssem Aouar, is the next step in Arsenal's preparations for the resumption of the 2022/23 campaign on Boxing Day when they welcome London rivals West Ham United to the Emirates Stadium.
