Newcastle vs Arsenal preview
It has all the makings of a great game to kick off the Premier League weekend.
Newcastle fans have endured a tough start to the campaign, with the team flailing in 12th place and one of only five sides not yet to hit double figures in goals scored.
They did however book a League Cup semi final spot in midweek, knocking out a changed Chelsea side 2-0 at St James’ Park.
The reintroduction of Anthony Gordon was a big boost to the Toon front three and they’ll need everyone fit and firing to get the three points here.
It was an interesting meeting last time they met in the North East, with Gordon’s goal upsetting Arsenal and their supporters, who first felt the ball was out in the build-up before crying out for a foul by Joelinton before Gordon tapped home in a big Newcastle win.
The Gunners come here without Riccardo Calafiori and Martin Odegaard, though it looks like Gabriel has recovered from what he appeared to suggest was a bad knee injury six days ago and will be involved if he completes training on Friday.
Ben White is another set to prove his fitness in that session, though knowing Arteta he’s likely playing mind games once more. William Saliba does return after sitting last week’s draw with Liverpool out.
Having failed to win either of their last two league games, the Gunners really can’t afford to slip up again here.

Newcastle vs Arsenal predictions
Tight
Newcastle’s home form is really strong, barring a recent 1-0 defeat to Brighton here where they’d enough chances to win several games.
Prior to that, it was a Kevin de Bruyne inspired Manchester City who scored twice late on to win 3-2 in January. That was their last defeat before that Seagulls loss.
Arsenal have a decent enough record at St James’ but the hosts can do enough not to lose this one.

Feel the Burn
Only Chelsea duo Wesley Fofana and Marc Cucurella have more yellow cards in the Premier League than Dan Burn.
The big defender came on to see the game out in midweek but has been cautioned four times in Newcastle’s eight games so far this campaign.
Operating as a central defender who’ll need to help double up on Bukayo Saka. Was booked in this fixture last year.
