The tenth round of the English Premier League competition kicks off with an exciting summit between Newcastle United and Arsenal at 2:30 pm today, Saturday, during the match that brings the two teams together at St. James' Park Stadium in the Premier League competition.
This meeting comes after the two teams achieved important victories in the English Professional Football League Cup, as Newcastle defeated Chelsea 2-0, while Arsenal achieved a crushing 3-0 victory over Preston North End.
Historically, this confrontation is considered one of the most exciting, as Arsenal and Newcastle are the only two teams in the history of the English Premier League that have not lost an entire season, and both coaches hope that their recent victories will boost the team spirit before this decisive match.
Arsenal seeks to return to the path of victories after unsatisfactory results recently, while Newcastle hopes to exploit the home advantage to achieve a positive result after a series of disappointing results, as it currently occupies twelfth place.
In terms of injuries, Arsenal face some challenges, with defender Gabriel Magalhaes likely to miss out, while Newcastle appear to have received good news regarding the return of winger Gordon from injury.
Arsenal are third in the Premier League table with 18 points, five behind leaders Manchester City and four behind second-placed Liverpool, while Newcastle are 12th with 12 points.
