The 11th day of the Premier League starts this Saturday with a clash between Newcastle and Arsenal at 6:30 p.m. Both teams are aiming for the top of the table, especially since the Gunners can even take the lead while waiting for Monday evening’s match between Tottenham and Chelsea. Arteta still has to do without some injured people like Gabriel Jesus, Smith Rowe and Partey. He should line up a 4-3-3 with Raya in goal and a defense made up of White, Saliba, Gabriel and Zinchenko. In the midfield, we would find captain Odegaard accompanied by Jorginho and Rice. Finally in front, Saka and Martinelli would support Nketiah.

The locals are also facing some injury concerns. Eddie Howe deplores the absences of players like Alexander Isak, Sven Botman and Harvey Barnes, without forgetting Sandro Tonali suspended until the end of the season for the illegal sports parties affair. The English technician would also opt for a 4-3-3 system by aligning a Schär-Lascelles central hinge in front of Pope, with Trippier on the right and Burn on the left. In the middle, Longstaff and Joelinton should be associated with Guimaraes, while up front, Almiron, Wilson and Gordon are tipped to start.
