Arsenal’s pre-season continues with an International Champions Cup clash against French champions Paris Saint-Germain today.

Unai Emery’s team will be hoping to bounce back after a 3-1 penalty shootout defeat by Atletico Madrid earlier this week, after a 1-1 draw in normal time.

PSG will likely pose a similarly tough test, with former Arsenal managerial target Unai Emery in the dugout.

46 mins: Lotsssss of changes.

Martinez, Ramsey and Lacazette all on for Arsenal. Leno, Elneny and Iwobi go off.

PSG stick with their starting XI, for now.

48 mins: The second-half starts in a similar fashion to the first. PSG with a lot of the ball, moving it around at the back and looking to break forward through Rabiot. But Arsenal's defence is holding firm.

50 mins: Better from PSG, who work the ball into Arsenal's box only for Weah to go down easily. Martinez clears.

51 mins: Rabiot bursts past Guendouzi just outside the box, and so the youngster responds by tripping him over. I've got a lot of time for that. No yellow card, but a free-kick in a very dangerous position for PSG...

Nkunku steps up from around 30-yards out and it's a superb attempt, but Martinez parries.

An action shot of that intriguing Rabiot vs Gunedouzi duel:

55 mins: Close from Weah! The youngster gets on the end of a long ball over the top, but slips as he takes his shot on goal. It's still on target, but means Martinez is easily able to push it around the post.

Arsenal clear the subsequent corner.

Vithushan Ehantharajah28 July 2018 13:54

58 mins: And now Rabiot brings down Guendouzi, to halt an Arsenal counter-attack. Ozil to whip in the free-kick. 

Vithushan Ehantharajah28 July 2018 13:57

59 mins: PENALTY TO PSG! 

Arsenal's free-kick is cleared and PSG immediately race down the other end of the field through Weah. He's too quick for Kolasinac, who slides in and concedes the pen.
