Arsenal Team News: Predicted starting XI to face Newcastle United in Premier League clash

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will undertake his first game following the winter break, when his team face Newcastle United this afternoon.

The Spaniard has overseen a real improvement at the North London side, both through performances and the points his team have managed to accumulate.

However, the Gunners still sit 11th and just six points off the bottom-three despite only losing one Premier League game under Arteta.

So with three points very much needed, Arteta has some big decisions to make when selecting his starting XI.

We predict Arsenal’s line-up to take on Steve Bruce’s Newcastle….

GK: Bernd Leno

Has been one of Arsenal’s better players this season and has performed very well for the last month or so.
