The first big European derby of the pre-season will be played on Wednesday, when Arsenal and AC Milan go head-to-head at the Estadio Nazionale. Both teams are finally back in action and looking to rectify the major problems they showed during the final stretch of last season.
Manchester United team news
Arsenal once again came close to winning the Premier League for the second time, but manager Mikel Arteta has yet to consolidate his very well-structured project by winning titles in any tournament. Last season, an explosive combination of fitness problems and injuries contributed to Liverpool's surge to the top.
While they continue to focus on negotiating the arrival of Viktor Gyokeres, Arsenal will have to deal with a squad without a big-name striker. On the other hand, the club has good reinforcements with the arrivals of Christian Norgaard and Kepa Arrizabalaga, as well as Martin Zubimendi and Noni Madueke
Arsenal predicted lineup vs Milan: Raya; White, Saliba, Calafiori, Lewis-Skelly; Odegaard, Zubimendi, Arroz; Saka, Havertz, Martinelli
Milan team news
Milan, on the other hand, have turned to the arrival of coach Maximiliano Allegri to try and regain the limelight after a season that ended in disappointment and extreme turmoil with the departure of Sergio Conceicao, sacked mainly for the defeat in the Coppa Italia final against Bologna.
The new coach ended his second spell at Juventus in 2024 with the league title, but without achieving the club's initial projections. Luka Modric is unlikely to take the field at the start of pre-season, but Samuele Ricci will make his Milan debut.
Milan predicted lineup vs Arsenal: Maignan; Jiménez, Gabbia, Thiaw, Bartesaghi; Musah, Ricci, Loftus-Cheek; Pulisic, Okafor, Leão
