Arsenal vs Newcastle: Zubimendi makes first start in Southeast Asia

After playing the second-half of the win over AC Milan, Martin Zubimendi makes his first start for Arsenal following his summer transfer. He joins the midfield with Mikel Merino, his ex-Real Sociedad teammate. Myles Lewis-Skelly replaces Oleksandr Zinchenko at left back, and Leandro Trossard comes in for Gabriel Martinelli. Cristhian Mosquera, Gabriel, and Jurrien Timber are not in the matchday squad. Viktor Gyokeres arrived just before kick-off and is not involved but is at the stadium to support his teammates.

Newcastle arrived in Singapore after a 4-0 loss to Celtic. They make six changes, including Lascelles, Murphy, Burn, Tonali, Gordon, and Elanga in their lineup.
