Arsenal vs Newcastle United Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Pre-season friendlies 2025

The Gunners came out victorious when these teams last met.

Arsenal are ready to battle Newcastle United in a pre-season club friendly contest. The interesting match between the two English Premier League sides will take place at the National Stadium of Singapore.

The Mikel Arteta-led Arsenal are coming in after defeating AC Milan in their previous club friendly game. The Gunners did put up a decent show against the Rossoneri, and it was enough for them to secure a win. They do lack in the attacking front and will be looking to step up here. Arsenal will be feeling confident due to their strong record against Newcastle.

Newcastle United will be under pressure as they recently lost a club friendly against Celtic. The Eddie Howe-led side were dominated and looked in poor touch. They will now be looking to step up here as they take on the Gunners next, which is not going to be an easy fixture for them.

Players to Watch

Bukayo Saka (Arsenal)

The English international scored the match-winning goal for the Gunners in their last pre-season friendly against AC Milan. Bukayo Saka is going to play an important role in the attacking front for Arsenal yet again. Even though he was not very consistent during the 2024-25 campaign, Saka will be a menace to the opponent’s defence.

Bruno Guimaraes (Newcastle United)

As the attacking powerhouse Alexander Isak will not start for the Magpies, the Brazilian midfielder will have a crucial part in controlling the midfield and as well as being active in the final third. He can do well in the attacking front as well, and will have a major role to play for Newcastle when they take on the Gunners next.
