Weekend Friendlies: Arsenal to catch Napoli    napping

 

The presence of Gonzalo Higuain in the opposing ranks will not be lost on the Arsenal faithful as Rafa Benitez's Napoli come to town for the annual Emirates Cup. At one point this summer, the former Real Madrid striker was as good as a Gooner, only to opt for the Italians in the end under rather cloudy circumstances. Cynics would point at the Arsenal wage structure as a potential catalyst. Still, the Gunners have been flying without Higuain (or Luis Suarez) in pre-season, plundering 19 goals in just four friendlies to date and have triumphed in their own tournament in three of the five editions. Arsenal have taken the lead in all four games this pre-season, scoring inside ten minutes twice as well.
