ARSENAL continue their US pre-season schedule THIS THURSDAY where they’ll be heading to Orlando City – and not for the theme park.
Summer signing Gabriel Jesus grabbed himself another goal as the Gunners dismantled Premier League rivals Everton in Baltimore.
The Brazilian has hit the ground running since completing his £45 million deal this summer and Mikel Arteta even described Jesus as ‘chaos’ on the pitch.
However, MLS outfit Orlando City could prove to be tricky customers as they will be playing in front of their home crowd.
But the Gunners’ confidence should be sky high on a whole, considering their unbeaten pre-season record so far.
What time does Orlando City vs Arsenal kick off?
Orlando City entertain Arsenal in the early hours of Thursday morning – July 21.
It is scheduled to kick off at 12:30am UK time – 7:30pm local time.
Exploria Stadium in Orlando is the allocated arena for this friendly and it can hold around 25,000 fans.
This will be the first match of a Florida Cup series which also involves Sevilla and Arsenal’s bitter London rivals Chelsea.
