Overview
- Arsenal confirmed a starting XI for the Aviva Stadium match with Kepa, Ben White, Piero Hincapie, Kai Havertz, Ethan Nwaneri, Max Dowman, Christos Tzolis and Viktor Gyokeres among the starters.
- Several senior players remain being managed or absent so Arteta is using heavy rotation and academy players to build minutes and protect fitness.
- Gabriel Magalhães and Gabriel Martinelli have returned to training and are available to feature, while William Saliba is sidelined and Jurrien Timber did not travel.
- The match kicks off at 7:30pm BST on Wednesday and will be shown in the UK on Premier Sports with alternative club streaming options following earlier technical issues in pre-season coverage.
- Real Betis arrive further into pre-season with multiple warm-up wins and Champions League qualification, making this the Gunners' toughest fitness test before the new season.
