Marc Mayo8 December 2022

Arsenal step up their preparations for the Premier League’s return against Lyon today.

A friendly in all but name, the Gunners will get valuable minutes under their belt in the first of three matches preparing for the end of the World Cup break.

First up on their warm-weather training camp and the so-called Dubai Super Cup is French club Lyon, who went into the mid-season hiatus sitting down in eighth in Ligue 1.

Among Laurent Blanc’s current crop is former Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette, as well as the likes of Houssem Aouar and Moussa Dembele.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Arsenal vs Lyon is scheduled for a 3.30pm GMT kick-off on Thursday, December 8, 2022.

The match will take place at the Al-Maktoum Stadium in Dubai.
