The Story in Brief
Arsenal host Serie A side Como 1907 in a pre-season friendly at the Emirates Stadium in London on Thursday at 12 a.m. IST. Mikel Arteta's team beat Borussia Dortmund in the Emirates Cup on penalties after a 1-1 draw, while Cesc Fabregas's Como drew 2-2 with Paris FC in their only warm-up game so far.
Fans can watch the match live on Arsenal's official YouTube channel, as well as via match pass on the club's website and app. Both managers will use the fixture to assess squad depth and fine-tune tactics before the domestic season begins.
The Indian Opinion
Pre-season friendlies are a poor gauge of a team's real strength. Arsenal's win on penalties against Dortmund gets amplified as momentum when it was just an experimental shootout, while Como's draw with Paris FC is written off as a near-miss. Neither result tells us anything about the season ahead. The only number that will settle where these clubs stand is the first league table in September.
