Will Arteta Make Any Changes? | 4-3-3 Arsenal Predicted Lineup Vs Newcastle United

Arsenal will entertain Newcastle United at the Emirates Stadium this Saturday as they look to secure a good result at home in the Premier League. The Gunners suffered a 2-1 loss at the hands of Manchester City recently, so they would be desperate to get back to winning ways this weekend.

Mikel Arteta will set his players up in a 4-3-3 formation and is expected to keep changes to a minimum for this game. Hence, Kai Havertz will once again lead the line for the North London club up top.

4-3-3 Arsenal Predicted Lineup To Face Newcastle United

Defence

David Raya will play in between the sticks for the Gunners after he conceded two goals in his last outing. Gabriel will operate alongside William Saliba at the heart of the Arsenal backline as they look to keep a good shape defensively during the 90 minutes.

Cristhian Mosquera will try to prove his worth as the right-back, while Piero Hincapie hopes to catch the eye on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will have to perform their defensive duties well before trying to offer some support to their teammates up top.

Ben White will provide cover for the defensive positions on the bench. However, both Riccardo Calafiori and Jurrien Timber are major doubts for this contest.

Midfield

Declan Rice, Martin Zubimendi and Martin Odegaard will make up Arteta’s midfield. Their main focus would be to establish their superiority over the opposition at the centre of the park.

Christian Norgaard will be available for selection on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the second 45 minutes if needed. However, Bukayo Saka remains sidelined for Arsenal due to injury.

Attack

Eberechi Eze will get the nod to put in a productive display as the left-winger, while Noni Madueke looks to impress as the right-sided wide player. Both of them will have to make some overlapping runs in behind the opponent’s backline.

Gabriel Martinelli and Viktor Gyokores will have to settle for a place on the bench as they wait for their chance to make an impact in the latter stages of the game if the Gunners are in need of a goal by then.
