Arsenal continue their mid-season Premier League preparations at the Al Maktoum Stadium, as Mikel Arteta's Gunners face a friendly against AC Milan in Dubai ...

Arsenal face AC Milan in their final game of the mini tournament in the December mid-season break. When it comes to building up for the start of competitive football this season Mikel Arteta has already set something of a precedent. Now Arteta faces something of a different task as he gears his side up for the return of Premier League football in just under two weeks. Mikel Arteta has the opportunity to somewhat experiment with his Arsenal team. He didn't feature in any of England's group stage fixtures as Gareth Southgate guided the nation to qualification into the knockout stages. Arsenal continue their preparations for the return of the Premier League out in Dubai. This will be Milan's first game of the tournament with Lyon having already completed their two games after losing to Arsenal in the previous game but following it up with a 3-1 win over Liverpool. Ben White has broken his silence after he prematurely left the England squad in Qatar. Many impressed in the game against the Ligue 1 side, including several youngsters who will hope to be rewarded with more minutes on Tuesday afternoon. Milan are able to get the danger away again though. Fabio Vieira is found in the middle after a terrible pass out from the back by Milan. Odegaard just whips his free-kick up and over the wall so well that it dips significantly away from the Milan keeper's left-hand side.

The Gunners will this afternoon look to make it two wins from two in the Gulf as they face off against Italian giants AC Milan in the Dubai Super Cup.

White has since returned to his club Arsenal and is currently training with Mikel Arteta's squad out in Dubai. Arsenal seem to have a new lease of life after scoring the opener. Nelson delivers a cross, but it is cleared, but only as far as Martin Odegaard. It is given as a foul. 33: Ciprian Tatarusanu fumbles a cross as Rob Holding puts pressure on the goalkeeper. 5: Lokonga is brought down as he drives forward with the ball. Moving the ball around nicely and in no rush to attack or give up control of the ball. 58: Odegaard drove forward, before picking out Cedric down the right flank, who tried to find Eddie Nketiah inside the box. Arsenal 1-0 AC Milan Arsenal 2-0 AC Milan The full-time whistle has gone. Arsenal 2-1 AC Milan

Odegaard delightfully lifts the ball over the wall from a free-kick and into the back of the net. Arsenal start again with Eddie Nkeitah up top as the academy graduate extends his run in the first team. The ball then comes out to Elneny who rockets an effort from outside the box but it narrowly flies over the bar. Tonali chips his free-kick into the box and Tomori guides a header into the bottom corner. Vieira hits it first time on the edge of the box with his left foot but he was leaning back and it kept rising over the bar. What a strike that is from the skipper. Odegaard again uses his trickery and manages to skip past two Milan players before getting the ball stuck under his feet. The referee allows it to peter out and the match resumes with no cards shown. The Gunners make it two wins from two during their time in Dubai and return to England for a final friendly before competitive football returns. Sandro Tonali delicately chipped a free-kick into the box and Tomori guided his header into the bottom corner, but there was to be no equaliser. Tomori gets into a heated debate with Marquinhos and Gabriel after the two sides disagree on a foul given in Milan's favour. The Gunners took an early lead after a fantastic piece of individual skill from their skipper, Martin Odegaard.

Martin Odegaard and Reiss Nelson got on the scoresheet as we clinched the Dubai Super Cup.

They won a free-kick near the byline and England defender Fikayo Tomori was left unmarked in front of goal to head home. Mohamed Elneny sent a long-range shot just over before Vieira was also just off target when set up by Nelson. But the initial shot was on target, and Nelson was certainly claiming it. After soaking up the pressure, we opened the scoring in fine style. But it was the Italian giants, currently sitting second in Serie A, who looked more dangerous in the early exchanges. Thomas Partey and Ben White were both named in the starting line-up for the first time after returning from the World Cup in Qatar, as our return to Premier League action on December 26 hovered into view.
