Arsenal vs. Newcastle United Preview: This highly anticipated Premier League clash between Newcastle United and Arsenal brings together two historical teams, both of which have once completed an unbeaten season in English top-flight football. Arsenal comes into the game with a mixed form, especially defensively, as they have conceded multiple goals in four of their last five Premier League games. Currently third in the table, they are five points behind leaders Manchester City, making this match crucial to maintain their title challenge.

Newcastle, fresh from their EFL Cup win against Chelsea, will aim to use the momentum to break a poor Premier League streak, having gone five games without a win. Positioned in mid-table, Newcastle is looking to bounce back from a recent home loss to Brighton. They last defeated Arsenal at St James’ Park with a narrow 1-0 win, but the Gunners avenged this with a 4-1 victory at the Emirates later in the season.

Arsenal: Gabriel Magalhaes, who sustained a knee issue against Liverpool, trained on Friday and is expected to play.

If Gabriel isn’t fully fit, Jakub Kiwior may step in alongside William Saliba. Arteta is also expected to recall Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz, and Declan Rice.
