The stadium will be rocking just one more time this season as Arsenal concludes the 2025/2026 home campaign in Emiratres Stadium on Sunday.
At stake, a secured second place finish in the Premier League for the third season in-a-row. That’s not necessarily what we had hoped for when the season began, however, it’s better than the other 18 Premier League teams might accomplish. Though, keep this is mind, if Newcastle United beats the Gunners, Arsenal would slip into third place.
Also, here are a few other reminders…Mikel Merino is suspended, while Leandro Trossard and Declan Rice have potential injuries that could keep them sidelined. Would Arteta start Kai Havertz just back from injury to fill the void at striker?
With that said, here’s my predicted starting XI on Sunday for Mikel Arteta…
Martinelli, Havertz, Saka
Jorginho, Odegaard, Nwaneri
Lewis-Skelly, Kiwior, Saliba, Timber
Raya
Predicted final score: ARSENAL 2 – Newcastle United 2

The president of Real Madrid, Florentino Perez, has decided he will do anything to sign William Saliba this summer. The player knows it, Real Madrid knows it and Arsenal knows it. However, Saliba has said he is very happy in north London.
Kai Havertz has returned to full training.
TBR Football reports Arsenal has given Jakub Kiwior’s camp all indication they want to keep the defender with a new and improved contract.
Gary Neville, “I feel quite strongly that Arsenal are going to win v Newcastle United. I think they will secure second place. I think they have had enough time. That was a big second 45 minutes at Anfield, and it will really give them a lift.”
