Arsenal set to play against MLS All-Star in pre season friendly

Like
every
year,
the
Major
League
Soccer
organises
an
All-Star
game,
which
includes
top
players
from
all
the
MLS
sides
that
take
on
against
a
club
from
other
leagues,
preferably
the
European
leagues.

And
it
seems
like
Mikel
Arteta’s
Arsenal
will
be
locking
horns
against
the
MLS
side
in
the
coming
pre-season.

MLS
All-Star
Game
2023

The
2023
MLS
All-Star
match
will
be
played
on
July
19.
The
match
will
be
taking
place
at
the
Audi
Field
stadium,
which
is
the
home
of
MLS
club
D.C.
United.

Generally,
the
manager
of
the
host
city
manages
the
all-star
squad,
and
it
can
be
a
familiar
foe
up
against
the
Gunners
as
former
Manchester
United
player
Wayner
Rooney
is
the
current
manager
of
D.C.
United.

What
Bukayo
Saka’s
love
for
Rob
Holding
says
about
Arsenal?

And
according
to
some
people
at
a
fan
event,
Wayne
Rooney
himself
revealed
the
fact
that
Arsenal
are
coming
as
the
opponent
of
the
MLS
All-star
match
during
the
event
last
Thursday
(March
16).

MLS
is
doing
away
with
the
Liga
MX
vs
MLS
All-Star
format
of
the
past
few
years,
ahead
of
the
inaugural
Leagues
Cup.
They
will
instead
host
English
Premier
League
leaders
Arsenal
FC
at
Audi
Field
in
Washington
DC
on
July
19th.

If
this
happens
in
July,
this
will
be
the
second
time
Arsenal
will
face
the
MLS
all-star.
The
North
London
club
won
2-1
in
2016
against
the
MLS
all-star.
Didier
Drogba
scored
the
goal
for
the
MLS
side
while
Joel
Campbell
and
Chuba
Akpom
found
the
net
for
Arsene
Wenger’s
Arsenal.

The
Gunners
are
currently
sitting
at
the
top
of
the
Premier
League
table.
They
have
69
points
after
28
games
and
are
ahead
of
2nd
placed
Manchester
City
by
8
points.
