The Arsenal travel to New York on the 26th for a friendly against MLS's New York Red Bulls, home of Arsenal legend Thierry Henry, who earlier this month became the all-time assists leader with 37.
I would expect a stronger lineup than the one we saw last week with more first team players involved. It would be exciting to see the debuts of Alexis and Mathieu Debuchy but the boss may opt to keep those guys on the bench after their World Cup efforts. I would expect the NYRB to be amped up for this game. I'd also expect to see a lot of Gooners in the crowd. Wish I were there!
