With the new season now only less than 2 weeks away, the importance of the pre-season campaign has ramped up. After games on home soil and the recent matches in Singapore against Atletico Madrid and Paris Saint Germain in the International Champions Cup, Unai Emery’s Arsenal now travel to Dublin where they will face up against the more familiar opponents of Chelsea in the Aviva Stadium.Both Arsenal and Chelsea are teams in a large transition, but in different circumstances. Arsenal, obviously, are preparing to adjust to life under a new manager for the first time in 22 years. Chelsea, on the other hand, while also having a new manager, are becoming used to life under a new manager in Maurizio Sarri, they’re also working under more constraints than previous seasons due to issues with their chairman. For the first time since the Blues became a financial juggernaut, they may be losing some of their biggest players in the shape of Eden Hazard and Thibaut Courtois, and haven’t had much to get excited about thus far in terms of incoming transfers thus far, with the exception of Jorginho. Sarri has stated that he wants to make use of the considerable talent he already has it his disposal, which if it works out, could be very successful, but if it doesn’t then people will As was naturally the case with other pre-season friendlies, the Arsenal team seen a lot of chopping and changing, with wholesale line-up changes happening both between and during games. Even with this being the case, with the season now so close, Emery will be looking to solidify his line-up, which means supporters in Dublin will be in for a treat, as the strongest available team will likely be fielded at the same time.So, what is the strongest team? Well, new signings Bernd Leno and Sokratis Papastathopoulos will be immediate additions to the first team for the season opener, one would believe, following their impressive pre-season displays. The attack will consist of the front four that finished last season in fine form: Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Mesut Ozil, Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.Matteo Guendouzi, Eddie Nketiah, Emile Smith-Rowe and Reiss Nelson will likely contribute in some way during the game after all standing out as quality performers during the pre-season games thus far.
