ARSENAL get their pre-season tour underway against German outfit Nurnberg TONIGHT – and fans could see some new faces in action.
Mikel Arteta has named a strong side with the likes of Bukayo Saka and William Saliba starting.
Kai Havertz is expected to feature in Germany following his £65million transfer from Chelsea.

Same look for rejuvenated Gunners
Here’s how we expect Mikel Arteta’s team to line up tonight in Germany – in very much the same shape that we’ve become accustomed to seeing the Gunners in under the Spanish coach.
Arteta names strong Arsenal side
With just under 75 minutes until kick-off, the Arsenal team for tonight’s friendly has been announced – and it looks tasty.
England internationals Aaron Ramsdale, Ben White and Bukayo Saka all get the nod, club captain Martin Odegaard is involved from the off, Reiss Nelson starts after his recent contract extension and William Saliba is back after his lengthy injury absence.
Meanwhile, Eddie Nketiah has been chosen as the man to lead the line while former Brighton man Leandro Trossard is part of the midfield three.
New signing Kai Havertz is on the bench alongside the likes of Gabriel Jesus, the in-demand Folarin Balogun, and 16-year-olds Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri.
Gunners ready for friendly fire
Good afternoon and welcome to live coverage of Arsenal’s first official friendly of pre-season.
Mikel Arteta’s men tonight take on FC Nurnberg at the Max-Morlock-Stadion as they sign off on their time training in Germany.
The Premier League runners up have taken a 30-man squad with them to the Bavaria, and for travelling supporters the game could offer a first glimpse of Kai Havertz in an Arsenal shirt.
Just over a year ago, the North London side made the same trip when a 5-3 victory over the 2. Bundesliga club kickstarted what would became a long, memorable but ultimately heartbreaking campaign.
Now the Gunners are preparing to do it all over again, but this time have their sights on going one place better.
Deals for Declan Rice and Jurrien Timber have yet to be concluded yet their imminent arrivals has those at Emirates Stadium buzzing with anticipation.
