Prediction: 2-0
Newcastle
Following a thrilling 4-2 win over Brighton, Arsenal will look to cement top position in the standings when they take on Newcastle United on Matchday 19. The Gunners look unstoppable at the moment, but Tuesday’s clash will be anything but a walk in the park for Mikel Arteta’s troops. With no fresh injury worries to report, Arteta is unlikely to make changes to the team that outplayed the Seagulls.
Meanwhile, the Magpies failed to turn their dominance into victory in a goalless draw with Leeds United. Newcastle United are eager to stay in the Champions League berth, but given Arsenal’s display in the crushing of Brighton, home win should definitely be considered. As for the visiting side, Callum Wilson is widely expected to return to the starting XI, whereas all Targett, Krafth, Dummett, Shelvey, and Isak are out of contention with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Granit Xhaka):
Granit Xhaka is widely regarded as one of Europe’s most talented central midfielders at the moment and he is on the radar of quite a few high-profile sides. Just two seasons at FC Basel proved enough to attract interest from Borussia M’gladbach, who secured his signature in the summer of 2012.
The Switzerland international had a slow start to his career in Germany, causing many pundits to start doubting his credentials, but he eventually turn things around to show he is more than capable of playing at the highest level. Acting as a deep-lying playmaker, Xhaka impressed fans and pundits alike with his performances in Bundesliga and European competitions, and he even managed to score a couple of important goals in the process.
Despite his fragile age, the highly regarded footballer has been a key member of the Switzerland national team for quite some time now, scoring 6 goals in his first 40 caps to establish himself as a real leader of the Rossocrociati. The 2014 World Cup, where he scored one goal in four starts, should prove just the first of many major tournaments to come.
Highlighted Team (Newcastle):
Newcastle United failed to impress in the 2015/2016 Premier League campaign and, as a result, they dropped to the English second tier. The Magpies will host their rivals at their St. James’ Park in the 2016/2017 Championship campaign and it has to be noted that the capacity of the stadium is 52,354.
Newcastle United have won four domestic trophies (1904/1905, 1906/1907, 1908/1909, 1926/1927), while lifting six FA Cup titles (1910, 1924, 1932, 1951, 1952, 1955) and a number of star players were part of the St. James’ Park outfit in the past.
David Ginola, Michael Owen, Alan Shearer, Les Ferdinand, Nolberto Solano, Gary Speed, Obafemi Martins and Kevin Nolan are notable footballers who are still remembered at the club. Newcastle’s fiercest rivals are Sunderland and there have always been fireworks when the two local rivals face each other in the Tyne-Wear derby. The color of Newcastle’s home kit is black and white.
