Team News

Newcastle
Arsenal
  • Alexander Isak faces a late fitness test for Saturday's welcome of Arsenal, but Anthony Gordon returned in midweek and should start.
  • Sven Botman, Jamal Lascelles, Kieran Trippier and Callum Wilson miss out for the hosts.
  • Gabriel misses out having been forced off in the 2-2 draw with Liverpool, and so Jakub Kiwior may continue at centre-back alongside William Saliba.
  • Ben White will also be assessed.
  • Takehiro Tomiyasu is lacking match fitness and will be assessed but Martin Odegaard, Riccardo Calafiori and Martin Odegaard miss out.

Prediction

  • Newcastle booked their spot in the next round of the EFL Cup on Wednesday night as they beat Chelsea 2-0 on home turf. The Magpies have won only two of their last seven, both of which came in the competition. They've failed to win in five in league, losing three.
  • Likewise, Arsenal also secured a quarter-final berth on Wednesday night. Their last two wins have come in cup competitions and they'll look to return to winning ways in the league in Saturday's early kick off.
  • Arsenal have won only one of their last three trips to Newcastle but will feel confident of securing all the spoils this weekend.

  • Ten Hag with United, 2 major trophies in 2 years. Arteta with Arsenal, 1 major trophy in 5 years. And their fans acting like they're up there with City, trust the process.

  • The garbage team

  • Should be more goals in the 2nd half as Arsenal will go 'all out attack' to try and salvage something from this game.

  • @Marbella I was wrong there :(

  • Over 2.5 goals @ 1.85 Odds

  • Arsenal Win

  • NEWCASTLE Pope, Livramento, Schar, Burn, Hall, Longstaff, Guimaraes, Willock, Gordon, Isak, Joelinton.

  • ARSENAL Raya, Partey, Saliba, Gabriel, Timber, Saka, Merino, Rice, Martinelli, Trossard, Havertz.

  • A tight match and probably several penalties and VAR. Newcastle 4 Arsenal 3

  • BTS, Newcastle to do some damage on Arsenal defense.

  • Kiwior starts = bts

  • @koziol.mutant Resultat?

  • Under 2.5 goals and plenty of cards in this match. Wouldnt be surprised to see another Red for us, considering how officials are always swayed by the raucous home support at St James.

  • arsenal win ht/ft

  • @FF2021 I doubt

  • over 2.5 goals
