Gyokeres, Zubimendi And Rice To Start | 4-3-3 Arsenal Predicted Lineup Vs Newcastle United | OneFootball

Arsenal will lock horns with Newcastle United at St. James’ Park this Sunday afternoon as they hope to secure a good result on the road in the Premier League. The Gunners managed to earn a 2-0 win away at Port Vale recently, which should keep them in good spirits ahead of this game.

Mikel Arteta will set his players up in a 4-3-3 formation and is expected to make some tweaks to his first XI for this clash. Viktor Gyokeres, Martin Zubimendi and Declan Rice would all play from the start of this game.

4-3-3 Arsenal Predicted Lineup Vs Newcastle United

Defence

David Raya will feature in goal for the Gunners after being rested in midweek. William Saliba will operate alongside Gabriel at the centre of the Arsenal defence as they look to keep the home team quiet during the 90 minutes.

Jurrien Timber will try to catch the eye as the right-back, while Riccardo Calafiori hopes to prove his worth as the left-back. Both of them will have to pick and choose their moments to join in on the attack.

Cristhian Mosquera and Ben White will have to be content with a spot on the bench as they offer cover for the defensive positions.

Midfield

Arteta could revert to his strong midfield three of Declan Rice, Martin Zubimendi and Martin Odegaard, who is a slight doubt ahead of this game.

All three of them will try to retain possession well at the centre of the park and engineer some clear-cut chances in the final third.

Ethan Nwaneri and Christian Norgaard will have to settle for a place on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the second half if required.

Attack

Eberechi Eze will hope to give a good account of himself on the left wing, while Bukayo Saka looks to weave his magic from the right flank.

Viktor Gyokeres will once again lead the line for the North London club in the final third. He would be eager to get his name on the scoresheet after getting a rest in midweek.

Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli will be available for selection on the bench as they wait for their chance to shine in the latter stages of the game if needed.
