Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe admits that the temptation to play Alexander Isak and Callum Wilson together is building.
Wilson is ending the season in prolific form with 15 goals to his name so far while Isak has 10 to his name. The duo showed what they can do on Sunday against Southampton when Isak laid one off for Wilson to fire home in the 3-1 win.

With the pair in sparkling form, Howe says that he is thinking about using them from the start when Arsenal come to St James' Park. Speaking at his Press conference he said: "It’s not the first time the temptation has been there to play them together. "When you’re analysing the next game, you have to analyse the opponents, yourselves and pick the best team to try and win the game.
"That won’t be any different this weekend. "I’ve talked about lots of different scenarios but, ultimately, my end decision has to be what does the team need rather than what Callum or Alex need. It’s up to me to make the right call."
