Watch Arsenal FC Vs. Olympique Lyonnais Live Stream: 2019 Emirates Cup, Start Time, Preview Of Preseason Match

After a successful United States tour that saw them go 3-1 — losing only on penalty kicks to Real Madrid, according to 90Min.com — Arsenal FC return home to Emirates Stadium to play in front of their home fans for the first time this summer.

The Gunners will host their annual invitational Emirates Cup match, facing one of the same opponents they took on in 2015, last year’s French Ligue 1 third-place finishers Olympique Lyonnais. Unlike in previous years, in which the Emirates Cup played a four-team format, this year Arsenal FC and Lyonnais will play a men’s match, while the Arsenal women’s side face the Bayern Munich women’s team in the only other Emirates Cup game, according to Arsenal.com. Both matches will be played on the same day, and both will live stream from London.

Before the penalty kick loss to Real Madrid, the Gunners had entered the International Champions Cup, defeating Bayern Munich and Italian side Fiorentina. Prior to that, the team had recorded a win over the MLS club Colorado Rapids in the U.S., per Soccerway. They did it without French defender and captain Laurent Koscielny, who remains in a standoff with the club in the final year of his contract — a year he wants to spend elsewhere before starting his 10th season with Arsenal.

While Arsenal are insisting on a substantial transfer fee from any suitors, the 33-year-old French international is demanding he be released on a free transfer, according to Metro UK.
