Sunday’s fixture at St James’ Park presents a compact, tactical test as Newcastle United host Arsenal.<\/p>\n
Arsenal travel with the reputation of possessing one of the league’s most effective defences and sit five points behind leaders Liverpool. Newcastle, who won three of four meetings with Arsenal last season, have not reproduced that form this term. The Magpies sit 13th after one win from five and the summer’s Alexander Isak saga is said to have had an impact on the club.<\/p>\n
Recent results frame the contest: Newcastle 4\u20131 Bradford (24\/09\/25); Bournemouth 0\u20130 Newcastle (21\/09\/25); Newcastle 1\u20132 Barcelona (18\/09\/25); Newcastle 1\u20130 Wolves (13\/09\/25); Leeds 0\u20130 Newcastle (30\/08\/25). Arsenal’s recent sequence includes Port Vale 0\u20132 Arsenal (24\/09\/25); Arsenal 1\u20131 Man City (21\/09\/25); Athletic Club 0\u20132 Arsenal (16\/09\/25); Arsenal 3\u20130 Nottingham Forest (13\/09\/25); Liverpool 1\u20130 Arsenal (31\/08\/25).<\/p>\n
Eddie Howe will welcome Anthony Gordon back after a three-match suspension. Newcastle will be without Yoane Wissa and Jacob Ramsey. Howe confirmed Jacob Murphy\u2019s availability for Sunday\u2019s game but admitted the winger has been struggling with a small injury. Fabian Sch\u00e4r remains absent after sustaining a head injury against Barcelona. Joelinton and William Osula both scored braces in the Carabao Cup victory over Bradford City, with Joelinton potentially returning to Premier League action after being an unused substitute at Bournemouth.<\/p>\n
Arteta confirmed that Martin \u00d8degaard should be available for the weekend having missed the last few matches with a shoulder injury. “The skipper might not start against the combative Newcastle but could feature from the bench.” Bukayo Saka has been passed fit for the Newcastle trip despite concerns over a midweek injury. Noni Madueke will be absent for around two months due to a knee problem. Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus remain missing, with Viktor Gy\u00f6keres once again spearheading the line. Piero Hincapi\u00e9 is also injured.<\/p>\n
Newcastle predicted lineup vs. Arsenal (4-3-3): Pope; Trippier, Thiaw, Burn, Livramento; Guimar\u00e3es, Tonali, Joelinton; Elanga, Woltemade, Gordon.<\/p>\n
Arsenal predicted lineup vs. Newcastle (4-3-3): Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Merino, Zubimendi, Rice; Saka, Gy\u00f6keres, Martinelli.<\/p>\n
Arsenal have lost four of their last five trips to St James’ Park and have scored just twice in their last five away games against Newcastle, making this another significant examination of their title credentials.<\/p>\n
