Arsenal and Newcastle United will face off this Sunday, July 27, 2025, in Singapore, and while it’s a pre-season friendly, it has all the ingredients of a top-tier clash.
Arsenal come in confident after a 1–0 win over AC Milan earlier in the week. New signings like Viktor Gyökeres and Cristhian Mosquera could make appearances, alongside familiar names like Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice. Arteta is clearly using this tour to fine-tune a squad aiming for silverware.
Newcastle, meanwhile, are looking to bounce back after a poor start to their tour, including a heavy loss to Celtic. With Alexander Isak missing and speculation swirling about his future, the Magpies will rely on Bruno Guimarães and a few fresh faces to steady the ship.
Kick-off is 7:30 PM local time at the Singapore National Stadium, with global coverage available via Arsenal TV, Newcastle TV, and major broadcasters like CBS and FuboTV.
Predictions? Most pundits tip Arsenal to win, but narrowly. A 2–1 victory for the Gunners is a popular pick, while some predict a 1–1 draw if both managers opt to rotate and experiment. With fitness still building and the heat in Singapore, don’t expect a goal fest.
