Newcastle United welcome Arsenal to St. James’ Park on Sunday for a fixture that has brought them great success in recent years.
Eddie Howe’s side have won their last three home games against the Gunners in all competitions without conceding a single goal, a run they will be desperate to extend. To do so, they must find a solution to their attacking struggles. While their defence has been the best in the league based on key metrics like expected goals against, they have the second-lowest shot conversion rate in the division. Therefore, finding a clinical edge will be vital if they are to get a result against the title-chasing Gunners.

Eddie Howe has received a timely double boost ahead of this crucial clash. Winger Anthony Gordon is available again after serving his suspension, while key defender Sven Botman is also back in contention after injury. Their return helps to offset the continued absence of Fabian Schär, Yoane Wissa, and Jacob Ramsey. Nick Woltemade is expected to lead the line, with the returning Gordon providing support from the wing. William Osula, who starred during the Carabao Cup, will also claim a spot in the starting XI.
Eddie Howe on Will Osula:
"He did a lot of work, individual work last season, focused on all aspects of his game. He is here and he has done well. He had an excellent performance on Wednesday, two brilliant goals, and it could have been more." pic.twitter.com/0AhF9SG0fM
