Team News

Newcastle
Arsenal
  • Eddie Howe will be without no fewer than seven players when Arsenal make the trip to St James' Park.
  • Harvey Barnes remains sidelined with a long-term concern, while Alexander Isak and Jacob Murphy will both miss out with injury.
  • Sandro Tonali has been banned for 10 months for illegal betting.
  • Matt Targett is also ruled out of this one, after coming off through injury against Manchester United in midweek.
  • Jurrien Timber remains a long-term absentee for the Gunners.
  • Thomas Partey and Gabriel Jesus are also sidelined with respective injury concerns.
  • Eddie Nketiah will once again lead the line, after scoring a hat-trick in last weekend's win over Sheffield United.

Prediction

  • After two matches without a victory, Newcastle cruised past Manchester United in Wednesday night's Carabao Cup fourth round clash.
  • Eddie Howe's side took the lead twice at Wolves last weekend, but ultimately had to settle for a point.
  • Arsenal were brought back down to Earth after their 5-0 thrashing of Sheffield United last weekend when West Ham knocked them out of the Carabao Cup in midweek.
  • A largely rotated Gunners side were convincingly beaten by the Hammers, and Mikel Arteta will be hoping that a full-strength XI can perform to a much higher standard here.
  • A competitive affair is anticipated in this one, with both sides potentially set to cancel each other out and share the points.
