Mikel Arteta locks horns with Cesc Fàbregas for the first time as Arsenal welcome Como to the Emirates Stadium for a preseason friendly.
Arteta never crossed paths with Fàbregas during their playing days in north London, with the former arriving a month after the latter pushed for a move to Barcelona and eventually got his wish. However, it was Fàbregas's return to the Premier League via Chelsea that really irked Gunners supporters, who'd regarded the midfielder as one of their modern-day greats.
Like Arteta, he's doing some stellar work in his first coaching role, with Como preparing for a season of Champions League soccer after finishing fourth in Serie A last season.
They're testing themselves against the Premier League champions on Wednesday, although Arsenal have succumbed to back-to-back defeats after starting their summer slate with a simple victory over Girona.
Here's how supporters around the world can tune into the intriguing clash.
What Time Does Arsenal vs. Como Kick Off?
* Location: London, England
* Stadium: Emirates Stadium
* Date: Wednesday, Aug. 12
* Kick-off Time: 7:30 p.m. BST / 2:30 p.m. ET / 11:30 a.m. PT
