Arsenal Xi vs Newcastle: Confirmed Team News and Lineup as Mosquera and Madueke calls made…

Arsenal’s anticipated lineup against Newcastle – Arteta implements six changes with Mosquera and Dowman included.

Here is our forecasted Arsenal squad for the pre-season friendly on Sunday against Newcastle United at the National Stadium in Singapore.

Arsenal is set to play their final match in Singapore later today, facing Newcastle United at the National Stadium. After arriving in the country a week ago, the Gunners secured a victory in their first pre-season friendly, defeating AC Milan 1-0.

Bukayo Saka netted the sole goal of the match, although the Gunners had several opportunities to increase their lead. Mikel Arteta will be looking for a repeat performance against the Magpies as the team aims to enhance their form ahead of the upcoming Premier League season.

Cristhian Mosquera will be available for selection for the first time after completing his transfer from Valencia on Thursday. The Spaniard may slot directly into the defense if the manager decides to start him.

Regrettably, it seems that the match will come too early for Gabriel Magalhaes and Jurrien Timber as they continue their recovery to full fitness. However, Arteta has most of his squad at his disposal, including promising young talents Max Dowman and Marli Salmon.

Both 15-year-olds made a strong impression against AC Milan, and they could see more playing time as a result. So, how will Arsenal line up against Eddie Howe’s side? We at football.london have outlined our predicted team below:

Goalkeeper – David Raya

David Raya will remain in goal, despite Kepa Arrizabalaga saving three penalties during the shootout against AC Milan on Wednesday.

Right-back – Ben White

Ben White showcased a solid performance earlier in the week and will retain his position in the lineup with Jurrien Timber still on the path to recovery.

Centre-back – William Saliba

William Saliba also stood out against AC Milan. He will start again, but this time he will have a different defensive partner.

Centre-back – Jakub Kiwior

Jakub Kiwior provided an assist in his first match, delivering a precise cross that Bukayo Saka converted. The Polish international has earned a starting position, which may result in new signing Cristhian Mosquera being placed on the bench instead of being included in the starting eleven.

Left-back – Myles Lewis-Skelly

Initially, Myles Lewis-Skelly began the match against AC Milan on the bench, but he is likely to be a strong candidate to return to the starting eleven for the upcoming game against Newcastle.

Central midfield – Martin Odegaard.

Martin Odegaard is anticipated to rejoin the starting lineup after being a substitute in the previous match.

Central midfield – Martin Zubimendi

Martin Zubimendi impressed during his second-half appearance, and he may be included from the outset this time.

Central midfield – Mikel Merino.

Mikel Merino is poised to start against his former team as Mikel Arteta makes adjustments to the lineup.

Striker – Kai Havertz

Kai Havertz had a significant impact in the victory over AC Milan, yet he faced a shortage of scoring opportunities. The expectation is that he will receive more chances this time as he aims to kick off the season strongly.

Left-wing – Leandro Trossard

Given that Gabriel Martinelli did not capitalize on his playing time on Wednesday, Leandro Trossard may be poised to enter the lineup.
