Arsenal vs Borussia Dortmund LIVE: Emirates Cup latest score, match stream, goal updates and fan reaction
Arsenal vs Borussia Dortmund LIVE
Arsenal are back at the Emirates Stadium this afternoon for the first time since being crowned Premier League champions, as they take on Dortmund in their traditional pre-season Emirates Cup clash. It should therefore be a party atmosphere in north London, with Bruno Guimaraes also set to be paraded in front of the fans after joining on Saturday in a deal worth £75million.
While there is no debut for Guimaraes, the likes of captain Martin Odegaard, Kai Havertz, Viktor Gyokeres, Gabriel and summer signing Christos Tzolis all feature from the start. Myles Lewis-Skelly gets the nod once again in midfield despite a tough showing against Real Betis during the week, as the Gunners fell to a resounding defeat at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin.
Mikel Arteta will want to see a far better showing from his players now back in familiar surroundings, and with a week to go until the Community Shield against Manchester City. Follow the game LIVE below with our dedicated match blog, featuring expert insight and analysis from Matt Verri at the Emirates Stadium.

Matt Verri at the Emirates
Interesting that David Raya is here with the Arsenal squad and he's taking part in the warm-up alongside the goalkeepers.
He's not in the squad and wasn't even due back for pre-season until tomorrow but he's clearly keen to hit the ground running.
