Teams: Arsenal v Chelsea: Lacazette & Bramall start
Arsenal continue their pre-season preparations with a ‘friendly’ against Chelsea at the Bird’s Nest Stadium in Beijing this afternoon.
Wenger has once again gone with a mixed side as Ospina starts in goal while it looks like youngster Maitland-Niles might be starting in the back three alongside Mertesacker and Monreal.
The Ox and youngster Bramall appear to be starting in the wing-back roles with Ramsey alongside Xhaka in midfield. Ozil and Iwobi support Lacazette up front.

Arsenal
Ospina, Maitland-Niles, Mertesacker, Monreal, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ramsey, Xhaka, Bramall, Ozil, Iwobi, Lacazette
