Burn, Isak, And Wilson Start Against Arsenal



Below is the team Eddie Howe has named for this evening’s pivotal match against Arsenal at St. James’ Park. This lineup features one change from the 3-1 win against Southampton last weekend with Alexander Isak in for Anthony Gordon.


Eddie Howe has started with the dynamic duo of Callum Wilson and Alexander Isak. Presumably, the system won’t change with Isak playing on the left. The bench gets a boost with the return of Allan Saint-Maximin though Sean Longstaff remains unavailable.

Here is who Mikel Arteta has selected for the Gunners.

Newcastle have another chance of enhancing their claim for Champions League football next season. It is shaping up to be a tight race for the final two coveted spots in the top four.

This match also holds implications in the title race. Arsenal may have to take all three points for any lingering hope of their first Premier League title in two decades. This is one massive match in May at St. James’ Park.

Howay The Lads!

    Pottsclock,
    Indeed, he nearly exploded in the pressure cooker at Anfield, his antics cost them the game by firing up the crowd.

    Brilliant to see Shay Given training with the lads there, and being made very welcome by Eddie and the coaching team and the whole squad, that was simply a class touch. Another Irish Geordie HWTL

    Tuff

    Following up on your comment @35 which read that it’ll be ‘Interesting to see if Arteta repeats his usual touchline line antics at SJP’ and whether he’ll ‘have the bollocks to do it?’

    Does anything ever stop you regurgitating your lewd and tasteless comments?

    Physician heal thyself comes to mind.

    Sticking with 2-1, Wilson and Isak. But if Botman scores I am taking credit for it by not predicting he will this week.

    Newcastle 13/10.
    Arsenal 9/5
    (Last I checked)

    Newcastle 50/1 to win both halves and have most corners in both halves.
    Arsenal 80/1 to win both halves and have most corners in both halves.

    I think we’re going to win well tbh. But it could easily go the other way either it’s one of those matches where there’s no real wrong pick, either could win.

    Actually, scratch that
    Newcastle 28/1 to win both halves and have most corners in both halves.
    Arsenal 80/1.

    So the bookies fancy us to not only win, but dominate.

    Arsenal’s biggest weakness is defense, even worst without Saliba.
