Confirmed Teams: Arsenal vs Chelsea | Pre-Season

Chelsea face Arsenal in pre-season and the confirmed team news is in from the Camping World Stadium in Orlando.

It's the final game of the United States pre-season tour for Thomas Tuchel's side and they are in Florida to see out the Stateside trip, which sees them play London rivals Arsenal.

Thomas Tuchel's side have won one game and lost the other, beating Club America in Las Vegas and losing on penalties to Charlotte FC in North Carolina.

Chelsea come up against the Gunners having played a game less in pre-season. This will be their fourth fixture, while for Tuchel and co it's the third, with one left to play next Friday in Italy against Udinese.

Tuchel wasn't happy with the effort from his team in the second half against Charlotte FC in midweek and will want a reaction from his side.

"Second half, it took us half an hour to show some quality and then it was maybe for ten minutes, so it was not good at all," said a frustrated Tuchel.

"Not offensively, not structure-wise, not in effort, hunger to be the dominant team. It was not good enough."

Here is the confirmed team news from Orlando as Chelsea take on Arsenal.
