Arsenal tonight conclude their pre-season preparations as they face Monaco in the Emirates Cup.
The Gunners are back in London after their tour of the USA, a trip that brought wins over the MLS All-Stars and Barcelona but a defeat to Manchester United, and return to home comforts for this one-off fixture in north London.
Mikel Arteta’s side then turn their attention to the Community Shield this weekend against Manchester City, so the Arsenal boss will be keen for his side to pick up a victory here and head to Wembley in good form.

Arsenal vs Monaco prediction
Monaco have been in decent form so far in pre-season, but Arsenal certainly have more quality and will be keen to deliver in front of their home fans before the serious business begins.
The intensity from the Gunners has been clear even in the recent friendlies and more of the same can be expected here in a comfortable win, even if the defence has looked vulnerable at times.
Arsenal to win, 3-1.
