How Mikel Arteta Could Line Up His Arsenal Team Against Newcastle In A Must Win Match T Keep Title Race Alive

On Sunday, an important Premier League matchup between Arsenal and Newcastle United will take place on Tyneside.

After overcoming London rivals Chelsea 3-1 in midweek to snap a four-game losing streak, the Gunners have found their rhythm again.

Before the game, Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, is concerned about Gabriel Magalhaes' health. Due to an ankle injury, the Brazilian defender was forced to leave the match against Chelsea.

William Saliba's back issue isn't anticipated to be resolved in time for Sunday's game, and Arteta is already playing without long-term knee injuries Mohamed Elneny and Takehiro Tomiyasu.

Although Arteta could be forced to play without his two go-to center backs, there is a chance that Gabriel will be declared match-ready.

Rob Holding could sit on the sidelines as he teams up with Jakub Kiwior in defense. Ben White, Oleksandr Zinchenko, and Aaron Ramsdale might finish the rearguard.

Granit Xhaka is very set to start in midfield, but it's unclear who will be his teammate. Thomas Partey might be brought back for the game against Newcastle after being benched for the match against Chelsea due to a string of subpar performances.

Gabriel Martinelli will take the place of Leandro Trossard in the top position, with Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, and Gabriel Jesus anticipated to stay there.

Arsenal’s possible starting lineup: Ramsdale; White, Kiwior, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Xhaka, Partey; Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli; Jesus
