Arsène Wenger’s side will take on the MLS club at the Red Bull Arena in New Jersey, on Saturday, July 26, kick-off 5pm (local time).
The Gunners are set to come up against their all-time leading scorer Thierry Henry, who now captains New York Red Bulls. Since arriving in New York in 2010, the Arsenal legend has scored 42 goals in 94 appearances and been named in the MLS All-Star Team on three consecutive occasions.
