Competition: International Champions Cup
Market: Arsenal win
Odds: 11/8 @ Bet 365
London rivals Arsenal and Chelsea face off as they bring their International Champions Cup pre-season campaigns to a close in Dublin.
Starting with former PSG boss Unai Emery’s new Arsenal side, traveling to the Aviva Stadium in Dublin for the final game of their pre-season tour, The Gunners will be boosted by confidence after thrashing the Ligue 1 champions 5-1 last week. With many Arsenal fans excited by the new season ahead, while Mesut Arsenal impressed in his first game since announcing his international retirement, one man is to watch France international Alexandre Lacazette, the 27-year-old now has four in his last three for The Reds. With Chelsea expected to name several youngsters in their starting XI, we’re backing The Gunners to carry on their impressive run of form.
As for Chelsea, The Blues also changed their manager last month when they brought in former Napoli boss Maurizio Sarri last month. Gaining his plaudits for his eye-catching style in Serie A last season, summer signing Jorginho, who played under Sarri last year, has impressed many during his start to life in West London. While they did come through Inter Millan on penalties in their opening ICC outing, The blues will be without several key first team players including, Willian, Courtious and Eden Hazard. Although Chelsea will be a tough test for The Gunners, Sarri is expected to select several players short on first team action.
