Arsenal to start US Tour against the toffees. Who will play, where to watch, kick off time?

Gabriel Jesus enjoyed a stunning debut last week in Germany.

Arsenal will look to continue their pre-season preparations with a good test against a fellow Premier League side against Everton. Arsenal enjoyed a chaotic first game back with a 5-3 win against Bundesliga 2 side Nurnberg, where Gabriel Jesus enjoyed a dream debut with two goals and which could of easily been a lot more. This will be Everton first pre-season with their last game being the 5-1 defeat to the Gunners on the last day of the Premier League season. 

Where and when is the game and is it on TV? 

The game is on Sunday the 17th of July with kick off at 12:00 A.M (UK Tine) with the coverage beginning on the Saturday evening. The Arsenal website is streaming every pre-season game with a match pass costing £5.99 for each game. There will be updates on my Twitter @TheArsenalWrap and on Arsenal official social media accounts for those who don't want to pay the money to watch the friendly game. 

Thomas Partey and Andros Townsend in action last season.
The pre-season match will be played at the massive M&T Bank Stadium which holds 71000 people which is the home of the Baltimore Ravens and could be used a stadium for the 2026 World Cup.

Who will play?

Arsenal have named a massive squad for the US tour of 33 players for these three matches. The players include William Saliba who makes his long awaited return to Arsenal after a year and half away on loan at Marseille and Nice respectively. Everton manager Frank Lampard has named a squad of 32 which includes the likes of Dele Alli, Jordan Pickford and Antony Gordan. 

Fabio Vieira will also hope to make his debut after missing out on the chance to last week due to his injury. Even players who are likely to leave Arsenal this summer like Lucas Torreira, Bernd Leno and Pablo Mari all included in the squad aswell. 


Reuell Walters is the only academy player in the US squad with Arteta surprisingly leaving out players like Charlie Patino, Lino Sousa and Salah-Eddie Oulad M'Hand who were all in the squad for Germany last week but have not been chosen to make the trip this week. It would be a great chance for the youngsters to be given the experience to train and travel with the first team however Arteta has decided to let them wait for the their chance.     


Full Squad:


Goalkeepers: Aaron Ramsdale, Bernd Leno, Matt Turner, Arthur Okonkwo, Alex Runarsson

Defenders: Kieran Tierney, Nuno Tavares, Gabriel, Pablo Mari, Ben White, Rob Holding, William Saliba, Hector Bellerin, Cedric Soares, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Reuell Walters

Midfielders: Mohamed Elneny, Lucas Torreira, Thomas Partey, Emile Smith Rowe, Albert Sambi Lokonga, Granit Xhaka, Martin Odegaard, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Fabio Vieira, Reiss Nelson

Forwards: Gabriel Martinelli, Eddie Nketiah, Gabriel Jesus, Nicolas Pepe, Bukayo Saka, Folarin Balogun, Marquinhos

Mikel Arteta talks to the team ahead of training in the US.

Arsenal players ratings from 22/23 and squad audit.

It's that time of the year again, transfer rumours are in full effect and it's time to give the audit of the Arsenal squad and review their performances from last season . Here's the Arsenal squad review and audit from 22/23.    Aaron Ramsdale 7/10 The young English goalie showed a lot of promise and maturity in between the sticks for Arsenal this season, coming up big in games vs Liverpool away, Bournemouth at home and Spurs (A). However saying that he still does have the odd mistake in him like at Southampton at home and has been more than questioned for a lot of the goals Arsenal let in this season. Overall though a very positive and good 2nd season for Rambo and many forget how ridiculously young he is for a goalie. Best game: Liverpool (A) PL Worst game: Sporting (H) UEL Best moment: Clutch save vs Bournemouth PL Worst Moment: Gifting the opening goal vs Southampton (H) PL Verdict: Keep, while Aaron has his critics the goalie market is very small and expensive and he’s...

 First half Arsenal player ratings vs MLS All Stars.  Arsenal kicked off their US pre-season tour with an interesting match against the MLS All Stars, a team made up of the best players from the American League. Arsenal lead the MLS team by at half time, let's have look at the player ratings from the first half.  Aaron Ramsdale 6/10: Very little to do really despite some very dodgy Arsenal defending, made some dodgy passes at times.  Ben White 6/10: Not at this greatest, didn't do much wrong but looked short of fitness like many of the team.  William Saliba 8/10: Oh how we've missed Saliba, back to making defending look effortless. Stopped couple attacks with his recovery pace and bailed out a lot bad defending and passes.  Gabriel 5/10: Wasn't at his usual best, looked uncomfortable at times on the ball.  Jakub Kiwior 6/10: On the ball very solid but looked a bit shaky and worried about the pace of Boulaya at times, still not fully sold of this idea o...

Arsenal make a huge statement with win over Liverpool. Player ratings, winners and losers.

  Arsenal returned to the top of the Premier League in a thrilling game with Liverpool where the Gunners had to take the lead 3 times in a 3-2 win to overcome the Scousers.  While this fixture promises goals in being the highest scoring fixture in Premier League history, Arsenal have only scored a grand total of one goal in their last 6 games in all competitions against Jurgen Klopp Liverpool team. In those six games the aggregate score was 12-1 to Liverpool which just puts into context how much Arsenal have always struggled against Klopp's men. Arsenal couldn't of asked for a better start when Gabriel Martinelli gave the Gunners the lead after 58 seconds. Darwin Nunez got Liverpool a deserved equaliser to make it 1-1, Liverpool were on top for the rest of the half however it was Arsenal stole the lead thanks to another Bukayo Saka goal against a top 6 side, who tapped in a wonderful Gabriel Martinelli ball at the back post right at the end of the half. Arsenal came out all gu...
