Pick your Newcastle United starting XI to face Arsenal amid Longstaff decision

Newcastle United will be aiming to take a huge step towards guaranteeing a top-four finish by dealing another devastating blow to Arsenal. The Magpies host the title challengers on Sunday afternoon, hoping for a repeat of the 2-0 victory last season which all but denied Mikel Arteta's side a Champions League spot.

Eddie Howe rotated once again as Newcastle picked up maximum points from another testing week. The emphatic mauling of Tottenham was followed with a comfortable victory at Everton and a comeback success over Southampton in their last outing.

Howe faces the welcome selection dilemma of choosing between in-form duo Alexander Isak or Callum Wilson up front, or even considering a partnership from the outset which has proven successful on several occasions from the bench. Sean Longstaff could be in contention for a place in the squad, while Allan Saint-Maximin has returned to training following a hamstring injury.
