Arsenal will lock horns with Newcastle United at the Emirates on Tuesday night, hoping to pick up a positive result and maintain their position at the top of the Premier League table. The visitors will be coming into the match on the back of a scoreless draw against Leeds United whereas the Gunners recorded a splendid 4-2 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion.
Mikel Arteta will make use of the 4-3-3 formation allowing Eddie Nketiah to continue his rich run of form to lead the charge up top while Martin Odegaard continues with his creativity in the middle of the park.
4-3-3 Arsenal Predicted XI Vs Newcastle United
Defence
Aaron Ramsdale will continue to operate in between the sticks for the upcoming away clash. The English shot-stopper would hope to put up a strong performance and secure a clean sheet in this contest. Gabriel Magalhaes will form the centre-half partnership with William Saliba at the heart of Arsenal’s backline.
Oleksandr Zinchenko should continue at the left-back position, whereas Ben White might fill in on the other flank as the right-back. The duo would be looking to stretch the opposition’s backline and create meaningful chances for the frontmen.
Kieran Tierney and Takehiro Tomiyasu will wait for their chance to shine in the second half if required.
Midfield
Granit Xhaka, Thomas Partey and Martin Odegaard will form the midfield trio, with the former occupying a more defensive role while the latter will be tasked with creating enough opportunities in front of the goal.
Albert Sambi Lokonga will take his place on the bench to provide cover for the midfield positions.
Attack
Eddie Nketiah will lead the line on his own up top to get his name on the scoresheet again after an impressive display in his last outing against the Seagulls.
Nketiah will be accompanied by Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka on either side, playing on the left and right wing, respectively. Both of them managed to find the back of the net last time out and will be hoping to produce a similar performance heading into this contest.
