Arsenal has finished runners-up in the English league in the last two seasons. Undoubtedly, the Londoners are ready to challenge for the league title, and they will be one of the leading contenders in the upcoming APL draw. Mikel Arteta has built up a formidable squad in recent years, and the Canaries have spent the off-season trying to retain their top players, with Ricardo Calafiori the most notable addition to the team. The Reds have already played four friendlies in pre-season, beating Bournemouth 2:1, Man United 2:1, Liverpool 1:2 and Bayer 4:1.

Lyon had an astonishing season last term. Their debut in the league was a disaster, with they falling into the relegation zone and unable to climb out for a long time. However, they improved enough not only to avoid the drop but to climb to sixth place in the standings and book their place in the Europa League. The Lions also reached the final of the French Cup, where they lost 2:1 to PSG. In the off-season, they made many notable transfers, signing Moussa Niakhaté, Duje Ćaleta-Car, and Georges Mikautadze, who became the hero of Euro 2024. Over the summer, France played five friendlies, winning three, drawing one, and losing one.

Arsenal continue to show great results. The Gunners have won nine of their last ten matches, losing only 2:1 to Liverpool on their tour of the United States. Back at home, Mikel Arteta's men thrashed Bayer Leverkusen 4:1 at the Emirates, despite only losing once last season. The Canaries will be favorites in the upcoming clash, having won the Emirates Cup seven times and four of the previous five editions. 

Arsenal are the second most prolific team in the APL's history. In the 38 rounds of the national championship, the Red and Whites scored 91 goals, an average of 2.39 per game - an impressive statistic in such a competitive league. In their first friendly of the summer at the Emirates, Mikel Arteta's side scored four goals against Bayer Leverkusen, who are used to dominating possession and keeping their opponents at bay. It will be even more challenging for Lyon to cope with such a powerful attack.
