Guimaraes, Woltemade And Burn To Start | 3-5-2 Newcastle United Predicted Lineup Vs Arsenal | OneFootball

Newcastle United will lock horns with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium this Sunday as they look to secure a good result on the road in the Premier League. The Magpies suffered a tough 2-1 loss at the hands of Bournemouth recently, so they would be eager to secure all three points this weekend.

Eddie Howe will opt for the 3-5-2 formation and is expected to make a few changes to his first team for this game. Bruno Guimaraes, Nick Woltemade and Dan Burn could play from the start of this clash.

Defence

Aaron Ramsdale will feature in between the sticks for the Gunners after conceding two goals in his last appearance. Howe will opt for a back three of Malick Thiaw, Sven Botman and Dan Burn as they look to keep the opposition attackers frustrated throughout the game.

Alex Murphy will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench. However, Tino Livramento is a major doubt for this game.

Midfield

Lewis Miley, Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes will anchor the midfield for the Tyneside club as they look to make life tough for the opposition at the centre of the park.

Lewis Hall will try to put in a solid performance as the left-sided wide player, while Kieran Trippier looks to give a good account of himself on the right flank. Both of them will have to make some overlapping runs out in the wide areas.

Joe Willock and Jacob Murphy will have to be content with a spot on the bench as they wait for their chance to shine in the second 45 minutes if required.

Attack

Nick Woltemade and William Osuala will lead the charge for the Tyneside club up top. Both of them will have to combine well if they want to cause some headaches for the Arsenal centre-backs on the counter.

Yoane Wissa will have to settle for a place on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the final quarter if the Magpies are in need of a goal by then. However, Anthony Gordon will be in a race against time to be fit for this clash this Saturday.
