The Gunners have embarked on a US tour for the pre-season and will take on domestic rivals Liverpool in their next friendly at the Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia. The match is set to take place on August 1 at 12.30 am BST. Below, we provide you with our Arsenal predicted lineup for the game.<\/p>\n
In pre-season so far, manager Mikel Arteta has opted to give his youngsters a chance to showcase their talents. Arsenal have so far faced Bournemouth and Manchester United, with the likes of Ethan Nwaneri and Ayden Heaven featuring prominently. The two teenagers started both games.<\/p>\n

Ben White has played in his usual right-back position. Myles Lewis-Skelly, who started the Bournemouth game at left-back, was replaced by Oleksandr Zinchenko for the last match.<\/p>\n The midfield three were Nwaneri, Jorginho, and captain Martin Odegaard. In attack, Arteta chose Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Jesus for the United game. Reiss Nelson, who has been linked with West Ham<\/a> recently, started against Erik ten Hag’s team as well as against The Cherries.<\/p>\n Arsenal won the tie against Bournemouth through a penalty shoot-out (5-4) after the match ended 1-1 in normal time. Keeper Hein was crucial to the win as he saved two penalty kicks.<\/p>\n Read More<\/span><\/strong>:<\/span>\u00a0\u2018<\/span>Deal Essentially Don<\/span>e\u2019:<\/span>\u00a0Arsenal Reach Agreement For<\/span>\u00a0\u2018<\/span>Perfect Defender<\/span>\u2019\u00a0<\/span>Who Rejected Chelsea<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n In the 2nd friendly, though, Arsenal defeated United 2-1, and the game still went to penalties due to a bizarre rule deployed for the pre-season fixtures. The Red Devils emerged victorious in the shoot-out.<\/p>\n The academy graduates have been quite impressive with Arteta waxing lyrical about Heaven<\/a> in his press conference.<\/p>\n Kieran Tierney (hamstring) and Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee) are the only injury concerns for Arsenal<\/a>. The latter is expected to miss the entire pre-season.<\/p>\nArsenal\u2019s Recent Form and Tactics<\/h3>\n
