Arsenal-Kiev forward Denis Balanyuk shared his expectations from the first Premier League match against Lviv.

Arsenal rented for the season at Cracow's Vistula ex-striker Dnipro Denis Balanyuka.

Newcomer "Gunners" commented on the upcoming meeting with FC Lviv in the Premier League.

"I think that Arsenal will perform well in the Premier League. The main thing at the start is to play the first match, which we have with FC Lviv. I, like all the guys, are set up positively, "he told the club's press service.

"Our first opponent made a bet in the selection of players mainly on the Brazilians. As they play I have not seen, and they certainly are inferior in skill to their compatriots from Shakhtar, where everything is on the level, but I will say that in any case it is not easy to play against the Brazilians.

Surely their motivation will go off scale, as they came to Ukraine to get hold of their chance and prove themselves as much as they can ".

"Of course I want to start with a victory in order to feel the necessary confidence. In any case, you can not even lose your mind before playing. If you have conceded to the match before the match, then in the meeting itself it is almost impossible to fix it. Always need to approach the match with a fresh head and rely only on winning! ".

Match Arsenal-Kyiv - FC Lviv will be held on July 22. The beginning is at 19:30.
