Arsenal face AC Milan in a preseason friendly game in Singapore on Wednesday.

The Gunners have now begun their preparations for 2025/26 in earnest, with this clash with the Rossoneri their first of three matches during a tour of Asia.

Fans will hope to see some new faces don the shirt for the first time, although they will have to wait a little longer to see Noni Madueke and Viktor Gyokeres in action.

This is the first of four preseason games against Premier League opposition for Milan, who finished eighth in Serie A last season and are hoping that the return of former boss Massimiliano Allegri can turn their recent fortunes around.

The Sporting News is following the Arsenal vs. AC Milan game live, providing score updates and highlights as they happen.

Arsenal vs. AC Milan lineups, team news

New midfield signing Christian Norgaard starts against Milan, while fellow new arrivals Kepa Arrizabalaga and Martin Zubimendi are on the bench. Noni Madueke, signed from Chelsea last week, will not feature yet as he is on a short break following the Blues’ FIFA Club World Cup campaign. Viktor Gyokeres has not signed yet and will need time to link up with the club and get to training before he can appear in a match.

Bukayo Saka captains the side and will seemingly start at the No. 10 position, behind Kai HavertzWilliam Saliba partners Riccardo Calafiori in defence.

Arsenal’s only injury worry at this point in preseason is the continued recovery of forward Gabriel Jesus from his ACL tear last winter. Jesus is expected to be ready for action soon but will be brought back slowly given his history of knee injuries.

Arsenal lineup (4-2-3-1, right to left): Raya (GK) — White, Saliba, Calafiori, Zinchenko — Noorgaard, Rice — Nwaneri, Saka, Martinelli — Havertz

Arsenal subs: Kepa, Setford, Rojas-Fedorushchenko, Nichols, Kiwior, Salmon, Lewis-Skelly, Zubimendi, Lokonga, Copley, Merino, Dowman, Odegaard, Kabia

The AC Milan squad has turned over some this summer, most notably after the sale of Tijjani Reijnders to Manchester City. Theo Hernandez also departed to join Saudi side Al Hilal. Additionally, Kyle Walker and Joao Felix finished loan deals, captain Davide Calabria and striker Luka Jovic saw their contracts expire, and defender Pierre Kalulu made his Juventus loan deal permanent.

They have yet to identify replacements for many of them, but the Rossoneri did bring in Real Madrid legend Luka Modric on a free transfer and signed defensive midfielder Samuele Ricci from Torino.

Ismael BennacerYacine AdliAlexis Saelemaekers, and Tommaso Pobega all returned from loans elsewhere and could factor in this season if they decide to stick around.

AC Milan lineup (3-5-2, right to left): Terracianno (GK) — Tomori, Thiaw, Pavlovic — Saelemaekers, Loftus-Cheek, Ricci, Musah, Bartesaghi — Pulisic, Leao
