Arsenal face Newcastle United in the Premier League at St James’ Park, looking to close the gap to Liverpool to just two points. It has been a welcome weekend so far for the Gunners as their main title rivals slipped to a 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace.
Mikel Arteta could welcome Martin Odegaard back into the side for the trip to the northeast while Bukayo Saka showed he is ready to return to the starting line-up in the league after the win at Port Vale in midweek.
There is a chance for Arteta to field what is for many on paper his strongest eleven players. Newcastle no longer have the giant-killing asset of Alexander Isak but Arsenal face a new threat in Nick Woltemade instead.
While Viktor Gyokeres will look to start upping his shot numbers after blanking against Manchester United, Liverpool and Manchester City.
