On paper today’s game against Newcastle is definitely going to be hardest fixture in our run in since the Man City game. Arsenal is aiming to achieve what only Liverpool has managed to do this season, which is to secure all three points when they visit Saint James Park.
While some may consider the title race over, Arteta and his team are not ready to give up just yet. They plan to win all their remaining games, hoping to take advantage of any slip-ups by Manchester City and potentially steal the title.
To achieve victory, Arteta must field his strongest available lineup to overcome the Magpies on their home turf.
Currently we are sweating on whether Gabriel will join Saliba in the treatment rom or if he has recovered for today, but if not then we must expect Holding and Kiwior as centre-backs unless Arteta has got a trick up his sleeve…..
The only other decision we are waiting for is which front three Arteta will pick, as there is a case to be made for all four striker options.
Well the wait is over and we now have the official starting line-up…..
