Nurnberg vs Arsenal LIVE: William Saliba starts after overcoming injury, Kai Havertz to make debut from bench

Arsenal will get their pre-season preparations underway in earnest on Thursday when they face German side Nurnberg in a friendly. 

The Gunners came close to winning the Premier League title last season before losing out to Manchester City and finishing second.
