Premier League 2022-23: Arsenal vs Newcastle United: Predicted lineup, injury news, head-to-head
A Premier League blockbuster is on the cards, as table toppers Gunners take on The Magpies.
Arsenal have been in staggering form so far this season. Mikel Arteta’s young brigade are caving the path for something truly special, as they are at present seven points clear at the top of the table.
Having played some beautiful football at the Emirates so far this season, Arsenal have become a point of discussion across various pundits and media houses, who are equally dazzled by the exceptional gig of this team.
Newcastle United, have been an equally impressive side this season. Eddie Howe’s team are unbeaten in their last 14 games across all competitions, and are definitely one of the prime prospects to play European football next season.
Though this switch in the club’s aptitude was predicted after the Saudi takeover, few expected the change to come in such a short duration, and without much of a rumble in the transfer market.
Kick-off: 1:15 am (IST), 7:45 pm(GMT)
Arsenal form (all competition): W-W-W-W-W

Players to watch
Arsenal
William Saliba
The 6’3 centre back, has been a hit since becoming a regular started with the team this season. Saliba has had some truly impressive displays and has clearly become afavourite among the fans, who are often seen chanting the Frenchman’s name.
Saliba with his great aerial abilities and positioning, has formed an indomitable backline with Gabriel, which will be absolutely crucial in Arsenal’s quest to take a steady leap into reaching out for the Premier League trophy.
Newcastle
Bruno Guimaraes
The Brazilian has been pretty imposing ever since his arrival in the league. Bruno’s contribution to the success of this team is monumental, and he is a key cog in Edie Howe’s plan.
He not only helps the team attackingly with his inert playmaking abilities, but also provides a lot of solidity to the team defensively, and assures a balance in the team. Bruno’s performance in this game will be key, and he will have to turn up, if the Magpies look to get something out of this game.
