Arsenal vs Orlando City: Team news

Mikel Arteta has revealed that he could have as many as FIVE players missing for the end of the club's tour of the USA.

Speaking after the win over Everton, Arteta said: "We have Kieran [Tierney] with a slight problem, we have Emile [Smith Rowe] with a muscular niggle, Tomiyasu as well & Ben [White].

"Vieira has a slight problem in his bone, hopefully he will start to train in the next week or so."

As for Orlando, goalkeeper Mason Stajduhar is out with a jaw injury and he'll join ACL victim Gaston Gonzalez is being unavailable for this one.

Arsenal vs Orlando City: What has been said?

Gabby Agbonlahor believes that Arsenal still have work to do if they're to challenge for a top four finish this term.

Speaking on talkSPORT, the former Aston Villa striker said: "For Arsenal it's a big statement signing Gabriel Jesus, but still, they need more work.

"There's talk of Zinchenko, who I think will be a great signing, a great addition. He's versatile, but maybe they need another right-sided winger as back up to Bukayo Saka because Nicolas Pepe has not done it.

"These teams know that they need to keep improving their squad because it's going to get harder and harder to challenge for the top four.

"Arsenal don't want to be cut adrift. They want to bring in top, top players because Spurs are doing the same.

"Spurs have had a great window so it's going to be even harder this season to get that top four and Man United fans, once again, will say that I don't think they've got much chance to get top four again this season."
