Anthony Elanga starts but no Sven Botman? Newcastle United v Arsenal predicted XI…

Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal face Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United in a pre-season friendly match in Singapore on Sunday 27 July.
Newcastle United were beaten by Celtic last weekend but face familiar opposition in the form of Arsenal in Singapore on Sunday. The Gunners will pose a stern test to Eddie Howe’s side as they begin to really ramp up their preparations for a new season.

With games against a K-League XI and Tottenham Hotspur to come within seven days of their clash against Mikel Arteta’s side, Howe may be tempted to rotate over the next three games. That rotation may see key players like Alexander Isak miss out on games, whilst Joelinton is also having his game time throughout pre-season managed.

Here, we take a look at the Newcastle United starting XI that Howe could name for Sunday’s clash against Arsenal:

Newcastle United v Arsenal predicted XI
GK: Nick Pope
Pope made a couple of good saves last weekend, but was at fault for Celtic’s second goal on the stroke of half-time. With no obvious outcome on their goalkeeper search in the offing, Pope will be keen to put those mistakes behind him the closer to the season we get.

RB: Kieran Trippier
With Livramento still likely to have more time off, Trippier could be handed a start as part of a fairly settled back line.

CB: Fabian Schar
Schar will have a big role to play next season and be keen to make the most of pre-season, particularly with Sven Botman coming back to fitness.

CB: Dan Burn
Burn started on the bench in Glasgow, but with another week of training in his legs, could start in Singapore tomorrow.

LB: Matt Targett
Targett remains the club’s only senior left-back with Lewis Hall out injured and Livramento given extra time off.

CM: Bruno Guimaraes
The Brazilian loves playing against Arsenal and whilst it may just be a pre-season friendly, his display against Celtic showed he is already at the very top of his game.
