Arsenal vs Newcastle LIVE: Bukayo Saka and Viktor Gyokeres start on the bench as Gunners bid to retake Premier League top spot | OneFootball

Arsenal are charged with arresting their slip and regaining a control in the Premier League title race as they host Newcastle looking to move back to the top of the table.

Mikel Arteta’s side emerged on the losing side of last Sunday’s title six-pointer with Manchester City, allowing them to close what was once a 10-point gap and move to the top of the table this week with their win over Burnley.

The Gunners have now lost four on the bounce in domestic competitions and are at serious risk of their title bid falling apart, if they fail to end their struggles.

They welcome the visit of 14th-placed Newcastle, who are themselves going through quite the rough patch after suffering five straight defeats, with pressure piling on Eddie Howe.
