The two sides arrive with plenty to prove, and the Serie A contest at the home ground offers a chance to lay down a marker.

But the Greek winger believes the mentality Arsenal are showing in pre-season is a sign they are ready to defend their crown.

Neither side is short on individuals capable of tilting the balance, and the duel between the two squads' chief creators could prove particularly pivotal.
