Where to look at Arsenal vs Athletic Bilbao: Kick-off Time, Team News and TV Channel for Emirates Cup Clash

Gunners will complete an Emirates double head as the Spanish side travels to northern London.

Arsenal lost 3-2 to Villarreal in its last season before the season, with Mikel Arteta’s side which gave a first start to Viktor Gyokeres.

The Swedish striker was one of ten players who were replaced, with Mikel Merino the only man who played 90 minutes.

It was a disappointing evening for Gunners that former Arsenal star Nicolas Pepe did for Villarreal, and they hope for improved performance and results here.

Arsenal vs Athletic Bilbao: Team News

Gunners are hopeful that Kai Havertz will be available to present against Bilbao after missing the Midweek match.

Leandro Trossard and Riccardo Califiori also missed.

But the trio is expected to play at least some part of this game.

Gabriel Jesus is the only Arsenal player who will definitely not matter when he recovers from an ACL injury.

At the same time, visitors are likely to start Inaki and Nico Williams.

Nico was long linked to a transition to Arsenal, but he has signed a new contract at Bilbao instead.

Arsenal vs Athletic Bilbao: What has been said?

Arteta was pleased with Gyokere’s first start in an Arsenal shirt.

He said: “We already broke that line today because I think it was very important for him to start a match and start having the feeling and connection to the team.

“I think he has built connections outside, which I think is really important with players who will help him get in the position he needs to enter.

“At his fitness level, I think he has not really trained with the team in two months, so he has now done six or five sessions, I think, before today.

“So I believe in Saturday again he will take another step and he will be in better condition.”

He is also convinced that he will be ready to meet Manchester United on the opening weekend.

“I think mentally and understand what he needs to do, he will be 100 percent or more because he is also so willing and so sure he can deliver immediately.

“I don’t doubt he’ll be in a really good place.”
