The Emirates Cup returns for another edition this afternoon as Arsenal face Borussia Dortmund.

Since the pre-season tournament’s inception in 2007, the Gunners have lifted the trophy nine times and are seeking to pick up more pre-season silverware after being crowned Costa Brava champions last weekend with a win over Girona.

With the serious business just around the corner, this is one of Arsenal’s final pre-season friendlies before taking on Manchester City in the Community Shield and the kicking off the new Premier League campaign at home to Coventry City.

While Arsenal impressed against Girona, defensive concerns emerged in the midweek loss to Real Betis and Mikel Arteta was far from pleased with the performance levels out in Dublin.

Playing at the Emirates Stadium for the first time since winning the Premier League title should garner a better display, though Dortmund will be out to spoil what is expected to be a special atmosphere in north London.

The German side have broken even in pre-season thus far, winning twice and losing twice.

It has been a busy summer of transfer activity for Dortmund too. Though, while they have brought in highly-rated Greece youngster Konstantinos Karetsas - who is expected to miss out today because of injury along with key defender Nico Schlotterbeck - they have lost Karim Adeyemi to Barcelona.

This will be the first meeting between Arsenal and Dortmund since November 2014 when Arteta captained the Gunners to a 2-0 win in a Champions League group stage showdown.
