It’s the shock of the day across the Channel. Arsenal host Newcastle this Saturday at 9 p.m., for the 26th day of the Premier League, a match to follow live with commentary on our site. After their surprise defeat against Porto in the Champions League this week (1-0), Mikel Arteta’s men will want to reassure themselves in the league to keep up with Liverpool, still first with five points ahead. For their part, the Magpies, eighth, are struggling with two victories in the last five matches.
To do this, the Spanish technician aligned a 4-2-3-1 with an attack made up of Saka, Havertz and Martinelli. Still deprived of Jurriën Timber, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Takehiro Tomiyasu, he chose to trust Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel and Jakub Kiwior for his defense against Raya.
The official compositions:
Arsenal: Raya – White, Saliba, Gabriel, Kiwior – Rice, Jorginho – Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli – Havertz.
Newcastle: Karius – Trippier, Schär, Botman, Livramento – Longstaff, Guimaraes, Miley – Almiron, Isak, Gordon.
