Evening all and welcome to (virtual) Dublin (where else) for Arsenal v Chelsea!

Excuse me, some light coverage issues showed themselves, but we're all good now.

So what does a good season look like for these two? They'll want top four and something in the Cups, but I'm not sure I can see the former. Chelsea won't score enough goals at the crucial moments and won't immediately adapt to what Sarri wants from them, while Arsenal just don't have enough reliable players.

As for Chelsea, the reprieved David Luiz begins his 40,651th attempt to prove that he can handle playing in a two, whole Ross Barkley gets a go in midfield. His ability to run with the ball is rare, but whether he'll ever find the discipline and nous to go with it, we still don't know. Behind him, meanwhile, Jorginho will pass the ball short and receive it back lots, while I'm looking forward to seeing how Callum Hudson-Odoi does down the left.

Things to note about the these line-ups:

Arsenal pair Sokratis with Mustafi - I'm not sure if this will make the new kid look good or look bad. They also field the only formation that, realistically allows Ramsey, Aubameyang, Ozil and Mkhitaryan all to start, which means no Lacazette. I suppose in easier games, Ozil and Ramsey could play in midfield, but I'm not sure Unai Emery is cavalier enough for that.

As far as pre-season friendlies go, this is a good one: two sides with new managers and plenty to prove. Let's have some teams...
