Arsenal host Borussia Dortmund in the Emirates Cup this afternoon, aiming to lift the trophy for a tenth time. The Gunners have won the pre-season tournament nine times since its inception in 2007.
This is one of Arsenal's final pre-season friendlies before the Community Shield against Manchester City and the Premier League opener against Coventry City. They recently won the Costa Brava trophy with a win over Girona, but lost to Real Betis midweek, with defensive concerns emerging.
Match Details and How to Watch
The match takes place at the Emirates Stadium, the first game there since winning the Premier League title. Dortmund have had a mixed pre-season with two wins and two losses. They have signed Greek youngster Konstantinos Karetsas, but he is injured and will miss out along with defender Nico Schlotterbeck. Karim Adeyemi has left for Barcelona.
This is the first meeting between the sides since November 2014, when Mikel Arteta captained Arsenal to a 2-0 Champions League win.
Where to Watch
In the UK, the game is free to watch on Arsenal's YouTube channel. Kick-off is at 2pm BST. A live blog will be available on Standard Sport with analysis from Matt Verri.
