Arsenal v Real Betis LIVE: Score and latest updates from pre-season clash in Dublin

Arsenal’s pre-season friendly with Real Betis kicks off at 7:30pm BST tonight at the Aviva Stadium, Dublin.

That’s the easy info. Now things get a bit more complicated…

After technical issues plagued the friendly against Girona that was being shown on Arsenal’s website and app, the clash tonight will now not be shown on either platform and all supporters who bought access to either the Girona match or the whole pre-season bundle are entitled to a full refund, which you can find out about here.

Tonight’s match will instead be broadcast on Premier Sports 1 instead and UK residents have access to a Premier Sports discount, using the code: ARSENAL. The offer is only valid on the full retail price monthly subscription of £17.99. The offer is for three months for £9.99 total, where the customer is billed £3.33 per month for three months. From the fourth month onwards, the subscription will auto-renew monthly at £17.99, or the then-current standard retail price.

Dublin’s Aviva Stadium, most frequently seen hosting Ireland internationals in both football and rugby union, is the venue for tonight’s clash.

The stadium has a unique, slightly odd design with one side dipped down in a wavelike form to avoid blocking the light for local two-storey houses. I don’t mind it to be honest – something a bit different

Tonight should be a good test for Arsenal in Dublin, after Betis fifth in LaLiga last season and reached the quarter-finals of the Europa League.

It will be fascinating to see what sort of line-up Arteta opts for as he tries to get the right amount of minutes into players’ leg ahead of the new campaign.
