Arsenal take on Newcastle United, looking to reclaim their league-leading position, having lost it to Manchester City after their narrow win over Burnley in midweek. The Gunners have a simple mission of winning first, scoring plenty second, with goal difference looking a potential factor come the culmination of this crazy season.
The good news for Mikel Arteta is the return of Bukayo Saka and Riccardo Calafiori, who the Spaniard confirmed both have a chance of being involved on Saturday afternoon. However there is still no chance for Jurrien Timber to make it back for the game.
Eddie Howe, who remains under increasing pressure, will be without several key players through both injury and suspension. Joelinton misses the match after accumulating too many cautions while the talismanic left winger Anthony Gordon, who has been linked with a move to the Gunners this summer, is out with injury.
