What have they said?

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger: "It is difficult to predict, but I think it is a friendly between Arsenal and Chelsea, that means it is not really a friendly. There is some pride at stake and a desire to win. It was a very interesting game in the FA Cup final, we play them in the Charity Shield [Community Shield] and then play them early in the [Premier League] season as well.

"In fact, we know each other very well and it is difficult how to know how prepared Chelsea are and how far we are for the preparation tomorrow. It was a good indication against Bayern, it will be another test for us tomorrow."

Chelsea defender Gary Cahill on the season ahead, via the club's website: "The second season after you’re champions is very difficult, we saw that with ourselves and Leicester last year. We need extra motivation in the team and we need to work even harder than we did last year. We need to be mindful of the fact that it will be difficult because when you’re champions every other team in the league want to beat you."
