Arsenal vs AC Milan team news

Mikel Arteta has named a 30-man squad for the Asia tour and could hand debuts to summer signings Kepa Arrizabalaga, Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgaard.

Gabriel Magalhaes is line to make his first appearance since April after suffering a season-ending hamstring injury in the 2-1 win over Fulham.

Elsewhere, youngsters Max Dowman and Marli Salmon could feature.

Milan have ex-Chelsea trio Fikayo Tomori, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Christian Pulisic in their ranks along with former Arsenal youth star Yunus Musah. Rafael Leao has travelled to Singapore.

However, Luka Modric has not made the trip after completing his free transfer from Real Madrid. This is because the experienced midfielder is owed time off after competing in the Club World Cup.

Arsenal vs AC Milan prediction

The result is never that important in these early pre-season games. The main focus is player fitness and, in Arsenal’s case, integrating their new signings.

That said, Arteta does tend to treat every game with huge importance so he will be keen to ensure his side begin their Asia pre-season tour on a positive note.

Given the quality of players on show from both teams, it should be an entertaining game at the National Stadium with the Gunners slightly edging it.

Arsenal to win, 2-1.

Head to head (h2h) history and results

In terms of competitive meetings between the two sides, Arsenal certainly have the edge. The most recent showdown was the Europa League quarter-final in the 2017/18 season where the Gunners ran out 5-2 winners on aggregate.
