Arsenal are looking to get back to winning ways and move back to the top of the Premier League table when they host Newcastle United this evening. Back-to-back league defeats for Mikel Arteta’s side have seen the Gunners slip to second, behind Manchester City by virtue of goals scored. However, with Pep Guardiola’s side in FA Cup action today, Arsenal can temporarily return to the league’s summit with a win against an out-of-form Newcastle side, who have won just one of their last seven matches in all competitions.
Team News and Return of Key Players
Arsenal are set to be boosted by the return of Bukayo Saka and Riccardo Calafiori to the matchday squad. Both players have been sidelined with injuries but are now available for selection. However, Jurrien Timber is expected to miss out once again due to a fitness issue. Newcastle, meanwhile, are dealing with several injuries of their own but will be hoping to spring a surprise at the Emirates.
