Off the back of their successful pre-season tour of America, Arsenal return to the UK to face Sevilla in the Emirates Cup today.
Mikel Arteta’s side managed three victrories from three in the US, running out 4-0 winners against Premier League rivals Chelsea last time out in Orlando.
Prior to this, they beat another domestic rival in Everton in Baltimore, as well as comfortably easing past MLS side Orlando City.
With several key squad members gaining valuable minutes in the States, Arteta will look to build on this momentum as they take on Sevilla tomorrow and prepare for next Friday’s opening league game at Selhurst Park against Crystal Palace.

Arsenal Vs Sevilla Team News
Arsenal should have the majority of the 33-man squad that travelled to the US available, although there are a few notable absentees that didn’t get onto the pitch in the States.
Full-backs Takehiro Tomiuyasu and Kieran Tierney continue to nurse injuries and are both doubts for this game, despite the latter returning to full training this week.
New signing Fabio Vieira is yet to make his Arsenal debut due to a foot issue, and although he also returned to training this week, this game could come too soon for the Portuguese under-21 international.
Emile Smith Rowe is not expected to feature against Sevilla as he continues to make his way back from a knock sustained in the Gunners trip to Germany earlier this month.
New signings Gabriel Jesus, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Matt Turner and Marquinhos could all make their home debuts in this game.
Sevilla are likely to be without forward Rafa Mir in this one, who is carrying a muscular problem, while centre-back Marcao is expected to be fine for the trip to the Emirates after building up his fitness.
The Spanish side have just lost star defender Jules Kounde to Barcelona, but they will boast ex-Spurs man Erik Lamela in the front three.
