Newcastle secured their 18th league-win of the season against rock-bottom side Southampton last weekend thanks to Callum Wilson’s pair of strikes either side of Theo Walcott’s own goal. With eight wins to show from their last nine top flight matches, Eddie Howe’s side are now leading fifth-placed Liverpool, who have played 35 matches, by three points and a victory on Sunday will assure the Magpies at least a top seven finish. Meanwhile, Newcastle enter Sunday’s encounter on the back of four consecutive wins at St. James’ Park and Howe’s men have lost only one match across all competitions this season in front of their own supporters.
Arsenal, on the other hand, have the best away-record in the Premier League this season, having collected 36 points from a possible 51 thus far. The Gunners recorded their 24th league-win of the season against Chelsea in the mid-week, courtesy of Martin Odegaard’s brace inside the opening half-hour mark and Gabriel Jesus’s 34th-minute effort. The result ended their four-game winless streak. Three consecutive draws and disappointing 4-1 trouncing away to Manchester City saw Mikel Arteta’s slip down to the second spot and Man City move to the summit. With four games remaining, the top two are separated by just four points and the title-race is nicely poised.
Newcastle United probable starting lineup: Pope, Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn, Willock, Guimaraes, Joelinton, Murphy, Isak, Almiron
Arsenal probable starting lineup: Ramsdale, White, Kiwior, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Xhaka, Partey, Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli, Jesus
