**Arsenal will be playing 4 pre-season friendlies before they face Manchester City in the Community Shield on August 16th.**
The World Cup means that the club’s preparations for the new campaign will be truncated somewhat, with players needing time to recuperate following their exploits in North America.
All four friendly dates will be in August for that reason, with the first taking place on the first day of the month.
Press the next page as we list dates, time, location and ticket information for the four friendlies that the Gunners will play this summer.
