Arsenal Looks to Narrow Gap on Premier League Leaders Against Newcastle
Arsenal aims to close the gap on Premier League leaders with a crucial match against Newcastle this weekend, but challenges loom ahead.
Arsenal Aims for Victory Against Newcastle
Arsenal heads to Newcastle United this weekend with a golden opportunity to close in on Premier League leaders Liverpool. A win today would bring the Gunners within two points of Arne Slot’s side, who faced a setback against Crystal Palace last Saturday.
A Tough Challenge Ahead
However, last season proved challenging for Arsenal against Eddie Howe’s squad, suffering defeats in both league and Carabao Cup matches. Bukayo Saka returns from a hamstring injury, having seen some action against Manchester City, much to the relief of fans holding their breath after a heavy challenge against Port Vale.
Injury Concerns and Returnees
While Saka is set to start, Noni Madueke will be sidelined for six to eight weeks due to a suspected knee injury. Martin Ødegaard, who has missed matches since an injury against Nottingham Forest, is also expected to push for a return alongside Martin Zubimendi and Declan Rice in the midfield.
Match Details
The match kicks off on Sunday, September 28, at 4:30 PM, and fans can catch the action live on Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Main Event, with streaming options available through Sky Go and NOW TV.
