Predicted Arsenal XI: Newcastle United (H)

After playing out a string of draws before the mid-season break, Arsenal will be hoping to return to winning ways when they face Newcastle United at the Emirates Stadium this afternoon.

Mikel Arteta’s men have played some good football in the past month or so, but haven’t been able to finish off teams in order to get the wins and climb up the table.

They’ll be looking to do that on Sunday, against a Newcastle team who are expected to sit deep and frustrate their opponents as much as possible.

In terms of team news for the Gunners, except the long-term absentees, everybody is fit to be part of the squad in this game.

Bukayo Saka has recovered from a knock he picked up during the Burnley game a couple of weeks back.

Arteta has a dilemma whether to stick with the out of form Alexandre Lacazette or get Nicolas Pepe back in the team.

On that note, let’s take a look at how we think he may line his XI up:
