Nurnberg vs Arsenal score prediction
Fitness and tactical familiarity are the only things that matter in pre-season friendlies, but given the gulf in quality between the two teams, Arsenal will rightly demand a victory, even if it means nothing.
With so many senior players in the squad, Arteta is blessed with a number of stars looking to prove themselves and command a place in the starting lineup when the new season gets underway, so don't expect the Gunners to go easy even when the inevitable wave of substitutions threatens to kill the tempo.
This should be pretty comfortable for Arsenal.
