Mikel Arteta has received a significant boost as Arsenal prepares for their Premier League clash against Newcastle United, with defender Gabriel cleared to play. This news comes as the team seeks to capitalize on their recent performances and secure vital points in the league.

In a tactical adjustment, Arteta has made one notable change to the lineup that faced Liverpool last Sunday. William Saliba returns to the defense after serving a suspension, partnering with Gabriel to strengthen the backline. This shift means that Ben White, who has recovered from a joint issue, will start the match on the bench.

The starting eleven for Arsenal includes goalkeeper David Raya, with a defensive lineup featuring Thomas Partey, Saliba, Gabriel, and Jurrien Timber. The midfield is anchored by Mikel Merino and Declan Rice, while the attacking front consists of Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, Leandro Trossard, and Kai Havertz. The substitutes include Neto, White, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Lewis-Skelly, Jakub Kiwior, Jorginho, Ethan Nwaneri, Raheem Sterling, and Gabriel Jesus.

On the other side, Newcastle United’s manager Eddie Howe has made strategic selections following their midweek cup victory over Chelsea. Sean Longstaff and Joe Willock have been included in the starting lineup after their impressive performances in that match. The duo will be looking to make an impact today after not starting in the previous league game, which resulted in a 2-0 defeat against Chelsea.

Newcastle’s lineup features goalkeeper Nick Pope, with defenders Tino Livramento, Fabian Schar, Dan Burn, and Lewis Hall. The midfield includes Longstaff, Bruno Guimaraes, and Joelinton, while the attacking trio consists of Willock, Antony Gordon, and Alexander Isak. The substitutes for Newcastle include Martin Dubravka, Emil Krafth, Allan Murphy, Paul Kelly, Sandro Tonali, Lewis Miley, Harvey Barnes, Miguel Almiron, and Osula.

As the match approaches, fans and analysts are eager to see how both teams will adapt their tactics and strategies in this crucial encounter. Arsenal aims to build on their recent successes, while Newcastle looks to bounce back and solidify their position in the league standings.
