Arsenal vs. Newcastle: Team Lineup as Gunners Aim for Crucial Win

Arsenal are set to take on Newcastle United today in a highly anticipated clash, with Mikel Arteta’s side eager to continue their strong form and maintain their title challenge. As the Gunners prepare for this crucial fixture, here’s the predicted starting XI Arteta could deploy to secure all three points.
Arsenal’s Predicted XI (4-3-3)
Goalkeeper: David Raya
Defenders: Jurrien Timber, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhães, Myles Lewis-Skelly
Midfielders: Martin Ødegaard, Thomas Partey, Declan Rice
Forwards: Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, Leandro Trossard
Raya is firmly established as Arsenal’s number one, the Spaniard is expected to start in goal once again. His ability to play out from the back and make crucial saves will be key against Newcastle’s attacking threats.
At the back, Timber could return to the starting lineup, providing versatility and defensive solidity. Saliba and Gabriel will likely continue their rock-solid partnership in central defense, while 17-year-old Lewis-Skelly could get the nod at left-back, having impressed in recent games.
The midfield trio of Ødegaard, Partey, and Rice offers a perfect blend of creativity, physicality, and defensive cover. Partey’s ability to control the tempo and break up play will be crucial in dealing with Newcastle’s midfield battle, while Ødegaard’s vision and technical brilliance will be vital in unlocking the Magpies’ defense. Rice, as always, will be the engine of the team, providing stability and driving the team forward.
In attack, Martinelli and Trossard are expected to start on the wings, providing pace and directness. Martinelli, in particular, has been vocal about Arsenal’s confidence heading into this game and will be looking to make a major impact. With Gabriel Jesus still sidelined, Havertz is set to continue in the central striker role. The German has been growing into his role at Arsenal and will be looking to build on recent positive performances.
A Tough Test at St James’ Park
Newcastle are a formidable side at home, and Arsenal know they will have to be at their best to secure a victory. The Magpies have shown resilience and quality throughout the season, and with a passionate crowd behind them, this will be no easy task for Arteta’s men.
However, Arsenal have been in impressive form, and with a squad full of confidence, they will back themselves to get the job done. A win here would be a huge statement in the title race, keeping the pressure on league leaders Liverpool.
As kickoff approaches, all eyes will be on whether this predicted XI can deliver another strong performance and keep Arsenal’s Premier League ambitions alive.
