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.
