Arsenal’s preseason goes into step two against Western Sydney Wanderers. Here are all the ways you can watch the event unfold, as well as the match facts.

Arsenal took care of business against Australia’s A-League best team, Sydney FC, in their preseason opener. A 2-0 victory with stellar defense and a boatload of youthful exuberance was a great way to start, with Alexandre Lacazette‘s debut goal the icing on the cake.

Now, just two days later, Arsenal will take on the Western City Wanderers at the same ANZ Stadium.

Given the short lay off, we are going to be looking at some serious squad rotation, with a lot of the guys making 20 minute appearances against Sydney FC likely getting the start, with Bayern Munich lurking at midweek on the 19th.

It would be mighty nice to see the Gunners run Alexandre Lacazette out there to start up front, but honestly, giving Olivier Giroud the nod and then letting a fresh Lacazette square off against Bayern could be the best bet here. Even though it’s preseason, obviously a win over Bayern Munich is going to be much more motivating than a win against Western Sydney Wanderers.

Which means that we might get something equally exciting against the Australian opponents – youth. Donyell Malen and Eddie Nketiah both looked energetic and ready to make a difference against Sydney FC and I’d be intrigued to see them given an hour or so to stretch their legs, with maybe Lacazette coming on late just to get some running in before going out for the real deal at midweek.

It’ll be interesting to see what Wenger opts for on the back line as well. We will probably see Laurent Koscielny get in there, but the wingbacks are where the real questions are. I’d love to see Reiss Nelson and Cohen Bramall back at it, but two days after playing 70 minutes might not be the most sensible option.

Ideally we’d see Sead Kolasinac in as a wingback at some point as well, after seeing him rock out at center back, but that might have to wait until we have more defenders back with the first team.

Anyway, enough speculation. Here are all the ways to watch:
