Arsenal take on AC Milan in a pre-season friendly in Singapore, with Mikel Arteta looking to assess his new signings ahead of the upcoming season.
Arsenal kick off their pre-season tour of Asia with a high-profile clash against AC Milan at the National Stadium in Singapore.
The Gunners have been busy in the transfer market, signing new players and strengthening their squad. Mikel Arteta will be eager to see his new signings in action and assess their fit within the team.
New signings Kepa Arrizabalaga, Christian Norgaard, and Martin Zubimendi could all feature in the match against AC Milan.
However, Noni Madueke has been given extended leave after representing Chelsea during the FIFA Club World Cup this summer. Kai Havertz will be looking to make a strong impression ahead of the imminent arrival of Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting Lisbon.
Arsenal fans will also be hoping to catch a glimpse of teenager Maz Dowman, who has been training with the first team and has been backed to step into the senior squad this season. The 15-year-old’s progress will be closely watched, and he could potentially make his debut in the match against AC Milan.
AC Milan, on the other hand, finished a disappointing eighth in Italy last season and have reappointed former title-winning coach Massimiliano Allegri in a bid to revive their fortunes. The Italian giants, with their reappointment, will be looking to make a strong impression in the pre-season friendly.
Arsenal Predicted Lineup
In the predicted lineup, Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka, and Gabriel Martinelli will start up front, with Granit Xhaka and Martin Zubimendi providing the midfield drive. The backline will feature Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel, and Jurrien Timber, with David Raya between the posts.
