Arsenal seeks revenge on Saturday v Newcastle United

Newcastle United rolls into north London on Saturday for a primetime match-up.

Eddie Howe’s side is currently 8th on the league table, 17 points behind the Gunners, however, the Magpies have had a good run to startle new year in the Premier League, winning four, drawing two and losing just once.

Alexander Isak is their top soccer with ten league goals, while Kieran Trippier leads the entire league with ten assists.

Coming off Arsenal’s heartbreaking defeat to Porto on Wednesday, the Gunners will need to find their scoring boots if they want to get revenge on Newcastle United who won the controversial reverse fixture, 1-0, on  November 4th.

With that said, here’s who I think Mikel Arteta will start on Saturday in Emirates Stadium…

[4-3-3]

Martinelli, Havertz, Saka

Rice, Odegaard, Jorginho

Kiwior, Gabriel, Saliba, White

Raya

Predicted final score: ARSENAL 2 – Newcastle United 1
