Arsenal
The Premier League title is the ultimate aim for Arsenal this season and thumping wins over Burnley and West Ham have made punters and Premier League betting sites bolt upright. A late loss to Porto in the Champions League in midweek doesn’t seem disastrous, with the second leg coming up next month and Arsenal will want to get back to winning ways domestically here.
Team news: Oleksandr Zinchenko, Thomas Partey, Gabriel Jesus and Takehiro Tomiyasu will miss out here for the Gunners.
Arsenal Predicted Lineup:
David Raya, Ben White, Gabriel, William Saliba, Jakub Kiwior, Declan Rice, Martin Odegaard, Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard & Gabriel Martinelli.
Newcastle United
Having seen their side decimated by injuries this season, Newcastle have struggled to back up their top 4 finish from last season, but they remain a very dangerous side on their day. On the road, they haven’t hit their straps as such, but they do like to play on the counter attack and Arsenal know they will need to be at their best in this one. Eddie Howe often has a few tricks up his sleeve, and he will look to make this as tough as possible for the Gunners.
Team news: Key attackers Callum Wilson and Alexander Isak are due to miss out here, with Joelinton and Joe Willock also out of action.
Newcastle United Predicted Lineup:
Martin Dubravka, Kieran Trippier, Sven Botman, Fabian Schar, Dan Burn, Lewis Miley, Sean Longstaff, Bruno Guimares, Miguel Almiron, Anthony Gordon & Jacob Murphy.
