In a behind closed doors friendly match, Arsenal suffered a 4-0 defeat against QPR missing several key players including Declan Rice, Aaron Ramsdale and Bukayo Saka due to international duty or injury. Manager Mikel Arteta had limited time to prepare his team for an upcoming crucial match against Manchester City.

Despite starting first-team players like Thomas Partey and Takehiro Tomiyasu, Arsenal failed to break through QPR defense. QPR dominated the game with Michael Frey scoring twice and Elijah Dixon-Bonner and Ziyad Larkeche also finding the net.

Although disappointed with the result, Arteta was pleased to see some of his players gaining match fitness after injury layoffs. Additionally, young talents like Amario Cozier-Duberry, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Taylor Foran got valuable playing time against experienced opponents.
