Girona- Arsenal (Saturday 18:00 GMT)

Preview:

Arsenal continue their pre-season preparations on Saturday with an exhibition match against Girona at Estadio Montilivi, aiming to build on their 3-0 behind-closed-doors victory over MK Dons. Goals from Reiss Nelson, Ethan Nwaneri, and teenage striker Ceadach O'Neill secured the win, while new signing Christos Tzolis impressed with an assist. Although speculation continues over high-profile transfer targets such as Vinicius Junior and Bruno Guimarães, manager Mikel Arteta has acknowledged the club's quiet transfer activity as Arsenal prepare for a busy schedule of summer friendlies.

Meanwhile, Girona enter the match after a mixed pre-season campaign that includes a win, a loss, and a draw. The Spanish side previously pushed Arsenal close in the Champions League before losing 2-1, but their fortunes have since declined, culminating in relegation from La Liga after finishing 19th in the 2025–26 season. Following the departure of long-serving manager Michel, new coach Quique Álvarez is tasked with rebuilding the club as Girona look to regain momentum despite their recent struggles.
