It's not necessarily his biggest strength, but that was a great header by Saka. Not easy to make a good connection and generate decent power when moving backwards.

Regardless of the score at the end of 90 minutes this afternoon, a penalty shoot-out will take place between the two teams. There will be no extra time.

If the winner of the match differs from that of the shoot-out, the Emirates Cup is still awarded to the match winner.

Decent half overall.
That pass by Havertz though - highlight material.

Calafiori to come on later? At the time of typing this, only he and MLS have their match shirt on.

Looks like this is gonna be the starting lineup for the first game and most of the games in general and he wants them to build match fitness ,but would be awesome to give more mins to Calafiori and some of the youngsters.
Really hate this every game Havertz is playing midfield and striker at the same time the guy needs to make the striker his position and improve on it.

Not a bad run out.
Hot out there today - so game tailed off in the second half.
Bit worrying not see any sight nor sound of Timber for the last 2 pre-season games.
