Havertz returns to Arsenal squad

Kai Havertz could be back after a lengthy absence since February. The German striker has made a quick recovery from hamstring surgery and is likely to feature from the bench in tonight's match.

Big loss for Newcastle

Alexander Isak is absent due to a minor injury. The absence of the Swedish striker will certainly greatly affect the attacking power of the team in the Northeast of England because Isak is in extremely good form, leading the attack of the "Magpies" throughout the past time.

In that context, Callum Wilson will be given the opportunity to lead the attack. In addition, coach Eddie Howe's squad has not been much disrupted, with center-back Sven Botman having recovered in time to play from the start.

Pope; Livramento, Schar, Botman, Burn; Tonali, Guimaraes; Murphy, Gordon, Barnes; Wilson.

Arsenal starting lineup

Raya, White, Saliba, Kiwior, Lewis-Skelly, Partey, Rice, Odegaard, Saka, Martinelli, Trossard.

Holding Liverpool to a 2-2 draw at Anfield after being two goals down, it seemed like Arsenal had a brave match. However, coach Mikel Arteta was clearly disappointed.

The Spanish coach did not hesitate to criticize his players for their dismal performance in the first half, where Gakpo and Luis Diaz easily penetrated the "Gunners" net. Although Martinelli and Mikel Merino managed to score to help Arsenal get a point, that was not enough to dispel the gloomy atmosphere.

Concerns continue to surround Emirates. After the shock of being eliminated from the Champions League, Arsenal fell into a crisis with a series of 5 consecutive matches without a win. The team that was expected to compete for the title is now clearly running out of steam in the final stages.

In the last 4 home matches, Arteta and his team have drawn and lost. If they continue to stumble, they will set a "sad milestone" by losing 3 consecutive matches at Emirates for the first time since the end of 2019.

In contrast to Arsenal's inconsistent form, Newcastle are in extremely good form. The North East side have beaten the Gunners three times this season, with two in the League Cup semi-finals and one in the Premier League. If they continue to cause trouble for the North London side, coach Eddie Howe's team will knock Arsenal out of second place and officially secure a Champions League ticket.

In the previous round, Newcastle easily defeated Chelsea 2-0 with the highlight coming from the duo Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali. It was also the 11th consecutive match they scored - a testament to the strikers maintaining high form.

However, Newcastle are still not the “away king”. In the last 6 away trips in the Premier League, they have only won 2. However, there is a formidable statistic: since the 2017/18 season, the “Magpies” have never lost the last away match of the season.

And tonight, history could change. If they beat Arsenal again, Newcastle will become the first club in history to beat the Gunners four times in the same season. However, the Emirates is still a "dangerous land" when Newcastle has not won against Arsenal in the last 12 times they have visited this stadium in the Premier League.
