Arsenal XI vs Newcastle: Confirmed team news, predicted lineup, injury latest for Premier League | OneFootball

Gunners hopeful of double injury boost with chance to regain top spot in Premier League table

Mikel Arteta will provide an injury update on Bukayo Saka and Jurrien Timber this afternoon ahead of Arsenal's match at home to Newcastle.

With Manchester City in FA Cup action, Arsenal have the chance to go three points clear at the top of the Premier League with victory on Saturday evening.

Saka has been battling an Achilles injury and has not featured since the Carabao Cup final.

Timber has been closing to returning from a groin injury and could potentially make the squad to face the Magpies if he has continued to progress.

That would mean Kai Havertz again leading the line over Viktor Gyokeres, and Eberechi Eze off the left wing.

Martin Odegaard returned from a knee injury at the Etihad and should continue at No10 after a clear midweek.

Predicted Arsenal XI: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Hincapie; Zubimendi, Rice; Madueke, Odegaard, Eze; Havertz

Injured: Merino

Doubts: Saka, Timber, Calafiori

Date and time: 5.30pm BST on Saturday, April 25, 2026
