Newcastle United fans are delighted after seeing Alexander Isak and Callum Wilson will start together for the huge clash with Arsenal. Eddie Howe has named the in-form duo in the starting eleven together for the first time this season, following several exciting cameo displays.
Newcastle have had a full week to prepare to the top-of-the-table clash with the Gunners, following a frantic run of victories over Tottenham, Everton and most recently Southampton. Howe unsurprisingly rotated during this sequence of three matches in eight days, but has made just once change for this latest encounter with Anthony Gordon dropping to the bench.
Nick Pope will be protected by the usual backline of Kieran Trippier, Fabian Schar, Sven Botman and Dan Burn. Bruno Guimaraes will likely be supported by both Joelinton and Joe Willock in midfield, with Jacob Murphy forming the frontline with Isak and Wilson.
