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

DM: Matteo Guendouzi

Guendouzi has made himself one of the first names on the team sheet and is always full of energy and fight in the Gunners’ midfield.

CM: Granit Xhaka

With Newcastle notoriously difficult to breakdown, especially away from home, we are expecting Arteta name the more creative Xhaka, ahead of Lucas Torreira.

CM: Mesut Ozil 

For similar reasons as above, we think Ozil will get the nod this afternoon. Often at his best when he is playing between the lines, picking out key passes against a stubborn defence.
