However, Mikel Arteta’s side have struggled to find their best form in the league recently, going winless in their last two Premier League matches and now trailing leaders Manchester City by five points.
Newcastle, on the other hand, avenged their recent Premier League loss to Chelsea with a 2-0 win in their EFL Cup encounter against the Blues in their last match.

Newcastle vs. Arsenal lineups, team news
Centre-back Gabriel Magalhaes continues to be a doubt for Arsenal after the defender suffered a knee injury in their clash with Liverpool. Martin Odegaard, Riccardo Calafiori, Kieran Tierney, and Takehiro Tomiyasu continue to remain sidelined with different injuries.
However, the Gunners were given a major boost with Jurrien Timber recovering from the knock he took against Liverpool and being fit enough to play in their win against Preston North End. Additionally, Ben White could also feature after overcoming his injury and returning to training.
Arsenal predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Raya (GK) — White, Saliba, Kiwior, Timber —Rice, Partey — Saka, Trossard, Martinelli — Havertz.
Injured: Gabriel (doubt), Odegaard, Calafiori, Tierney, Tomiyasu
Suspended: None
Newcastle were also handed a major boost with star player Anthony Gordon making his return from injury, and featuring against Chelsea in their last match.
Alexander Isak seems to have found his finishing touch, with the Swedish forward scoring in two consecutive games and generally looking at his best. The Magpies will rely upon him and Gordon in the final as they look to snap a three-game winless streak in the Premier League.
Newcastle predicted XI (4-3-3, right to left): Pope (GK) — Livramento, Schar, Burn, Hall — Tonali, Guimaraes, Joelinton — Barnes, Isak, Gordon.
Injured: Lascelles, Botman, Trippier, Wilson
Suspended: None
Newcastle vs. Arsenal Prediction
Newcastle come into this match with a psychological edge, having won two of their last three home fixtures against Arsenal in the Premier League.
While the Magpies are gradually finding their footing again, the Gunners seem to have slightly lost theirs in recent weeks. With both sides showing erratic form, its likely this game ends in a scrappy draw.
