Borussia Dortmund vs Arsenal Starting XI Predictions (Preseason Friendly)
Sunday brings a trophy match, sort of, kind of, when Arsenal FC hosts Borussia Dortmund. The Emirates Cup is silverware, but as it's of the preseason variety, it's not a "real trophy."

Tottenham Hotspur Predicted Starting XI vs Getafe (Preseason Friendly)
We still have a few weeks to go, but Tottenham Hotspur could be "declared" the "winners" of the summer transfer window. That said, being named transfer window "champions" does not guarantee anything. There are no trophies for it, and articles on the topic have shown that it doesn't often correlate with a massive uptick in winning percentage. Still when you look at the … [Read more...] about Tottenham Hotspur Predicted Starting XI vs Getafe (Preseason Friendly)
