Match Preview
Arsenal Form & Preview
Arsenal enter this clash in excellent form, sitting second in the Premier League with strong momentum. They have produced standout performances including a dominant win over Manchester United, thumping victories against Leeds United and Nottingham Forest, and a well-deserved Champions League triumph over Athletic Bilbao. Despite a narrow defeat to Liverpool, they showed resilience by securing a hard-fought draw against Manchester City.
Defensively, Arsenal have been solid, conceding only one goal so far in the league, with David Raya commanding the back line effectively. With Bukayo Saka back from injury and fully fit, combined with Gabriel Martinelli finding the net in back to back games, Arsenal’s front three of Saka, Martinelli, and Gyökeres look set for a dangerous attacking display at St. James’ Park.
| Predicted Arsenal XI (4-3-3) |
|---|
| David Raya; Jurrien Timber, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, Riccardo Calafiori; Eberechi Eze, Martin Zubimendi, Declan Rice; Bukayo Saka, Viktor Gyokeres, Gabriel Martinelli |
Newcastle United Form & Preview
Newcastle United come into this clash with form that has been below their usual standards. Sitting 13th in the Premier League table, they have only managed one win in their last five matches. A narrow victory against Wolves was their standout result, but defeats to Liverpool and Barcelona, along with draws against Leeds and Bournemouth, have left them struggling for momentum.
While their defense has looked unsettled, Newcastle still possess the quality to trouble top sides, particularly at home. The midfield trio of Bruno Guimarães, Sandro Tonali, and Joelinton will be key to controlling possession, while Anthony Gordon’s pace on the left remains one of their main threats.
| Predicted Newcastle XI (4-3-3) |
|---|
| Nick Pope; Tino Livramento, Botman, Dan Burn, Lewis Hall; Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali, Joelinton; Anthony Elanga,Nick Woltemade, Anthony Gordon |
