The Dubai Super Cup may not be the piece of silverware that Arsenal fans are craving this season, but keeping the momentum going before resuming a Premier League title charge is just what Mikel Arteta desired during a worthwhile period of mid-season friendlies.
After recording victories over Lyon in normal time and the penalty shootout, Arsenal put Italian champions Milan to the sword thanks to goals from Martin Odegaard and Reiss Nelson before Fikayo Tomori pulled one back, and the Gunners also ran out 4-3 winners from the spot for the additional point.
Picking up where they left off in the middle of November, Arsenal have one final chance to strut their stuff in exhibition matches before West Ham United visit the Emirates for a Boxing Day London derby in the Premier League, as Arteta’s side prepare to enjoy Christmas at the top of the table.
With a host of World Cup representatives also coming back to training in dribs and drabs over the past week, Arteta will relish the chance to give more of his first-choice players some friendly minutes as Arsenal aim to record a fourth successive win in competitive and non-competitive matches.
The Premier League leaders have also found the back of the net in each of their last seven fixtures in all tournaments and are facing a Juventus side who are in turmoil off the field, although their on-field exploits have shown steady signs of progress.

France’s William Saliba is the only Arsenal man left standing at the World Cup as he prepares for Sunday’s mouthwatering final with Argentina, and the English duo of Bukayo Saka and Aaron Ramsdale are both due to return to training this week alongside Takehiro Tomiyasu and Gabriel Martinelli.
The quartet may only be considered for minutes off the bench this weekend, but Oleksandr Zinchenko, Matt Turner and Granit Xhaka have had ample time with their teammates and could now come in for starting roles in a more familiar Arsenal XI.
Academy graduates such as Ethan Nwaneri, Lino Sousa and Reuell Walters can expect to earn more first-team minutes in the closing stages of the match, while Eddie Nketiah shoulders the attacking burden in the absence of the injured Gabriel Jesus and Emile Smith Rowe, who is edging closer to a return from groin surgery.
As for Juventus, Argentinian duo Angel Di Maria and Leandro Paredes prepare to face teammate Adrien Rabiot in the World Cup final, while Danilo, Alex Sandro, Weston McKennie, Bremer, Dusan Vlahovic, Filip Kostic and ex-Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny also turned out for their countries in Qatar.
