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.
