The photograph of the Premier league looks like that of last season. Dolphin of Liverpool, Arsenal is still installed in second place behind the Reds. It's not a surprise, but it's a little disappointment. The requirements are increasingly strong concerning these Gunners, regular in the top of the table but unable to win the crown more than 20 years after their last coronation.
In the game, too, Mikel Arteta's men have been showing a fairly dull face since the start of the season. But it is Arsenal who will approach this match with the favorite costume, even in the bubbling lair of Newcastle. Without their scorer Alexander Isak, sold this summer in Liverpool for a record amount, the Magpies are struggling to find the right carburetor. It will be necessary to rely on the magic of St James'Park to see Newcastle get a blow.
The expected compos
Newcastle : Pope; Thiaw, Burn, Botman; Trippier, Guimaraes, Tonali, Jelinton Hall; Woltemade, Murphy
Arsenal : Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Eze, Merino, Rice; Saka, Gyokeres, Martinelli.
