Newcastle travels to the Emirates Stadium aiming to secure a victory that would propel them up the table while also hampering Arsenal’s quest for the title.
Arsenal is striving to keep pace with Manchester City and Liverpool to contend for their first Premier League title in two decades. The importance of every match is magnified under such pressure, necessitating the presence of top players on the field. However, Eddie Howe has faced the challenge of coping without key players due to injuries, with eight still sidelined at the moment. Additionally, Martin Dubravka’s illness further complicates matters, forcing Howe to turn to Loris Karius in goal. Karius, despite his past struggles, must deliver a commanding performance for Newcastle in this crucial fixture.
He will be supported by a defensive lineup consisting of Kieran Trippier, Fabian Schar, Sven Botman, and Tino Livramento, who can expect relentless pressure from Arsenal’s potent attack. The midfield trio of Bruno Guimaraes, Lewis Miley, and Sean Longstaff adds resilience and skill, while the attacking trio of Miguel Almiron, Anthony Gordon, and Alexander Isak promises excitement and goal-scoring potential for Newcastle.
