Arsenal vs Newcastle Team News

Arsenal team news

Arsenal XI to play Newcastle: Raya, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Kiwior, Odegaard, Rice, Jorginho, Havertz, Saka, Martinelli.

Subs: Ramsdale, Jesus, Smith Rowe, Nketiah, Trossard, Soares, Vieira, Nelson, Elneny.

Arsenal's Jurrien Timber is still out for the long haul, and Arteta might contemplate bringing in Jorginho and Emile Smith Rowe to reload his midfield if more legs are needed.

Although Arteta continues to be extremely secretive about each player's status, Gabriel Jesus (knee), Takehiro Tomiyasu (knock), and Oleksandr Zinchenko (calf) were also missing from the loss to Porto. However, given the short turnaround, it is unlikely that any of them will make a return on Saturday.

Fabio Vieira, who missed three months of action due to a groin injury, was added to the matchday squad for Arsenal's midweek trip to Portugal. However, Thomas Partey, who also resumed team training after a thigh operation, was left off the squad for the first leg.

Newcastle XI to play Arsenal: Karius,Trippier, Schar, Botman, Livramento, Longstaff, Guimaraes, Miley, Gordon, Almiron, Isak.

Subs: Gillespie, Lascelles, Ritchie, Barnes, Krafth, Hall, Murphy, Willock, Burn.

Alex Isak is expected to be chosen in Howe's matchday squad, and Joe Willock, who hasn't played since November, is about to make his much anticipated return this weekend against his old team.

However, Newcastle is still missing Elliott Anderson, Joelinton, Callum Wilson, and Nick Pope. If Isak is only able to make the bench, Anthony Gordon will start at the top.

Fabian Schar's wrist injury from last weekend's 2-2 draw with Bournemouth will not stop him from playing in this match on Saturday.

Arsenal vs Newcastle Highlights

Arsenal vs Newcastle

GOAL! Arsenal 2-0 Newcastle (Havertz, 24')

What a start for Arsenal! Newcastle are being blown away.

Jorginho lifts a ball over the top for Martinelli, who is making a diagonal run from left to right.

The Brazilian does really well to cut the ball back into the danger zone, and Havertz anticipates it perfectly to slide home from close range.

Static defending from Newcastle. Clinical from Arsenal. This could get ugly for the visitors.

GOAL! Arsenal 1-0 Newcastle (Botman OG, 18')

Yet another set-piece goal for Arsenal! Although this will go down as an OG from Botman.

Karius actually makes a fine save initially, parrying Gabriel's towering header from Saka's corner, but the ball bounces out and it's a real mess as it deflects over the line off the knee of Botman, who was lying prone on the ground.
