Newcastle United host Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday and will be aiming to boost their hopes of avoiding relegation.

The last time these two sides met earlier this season, the Gunners recorded a 3-0 victory at the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners have an exceptional head-to-head record against Newcastle, winning 15 of their last 17 meetings.

However, the Magpies will be eager to upset the odds this weekend as they strive to pull clear of the relegation zone.

Newcastle head this game on the back of three draws and two wins in their last six Premier League matches, and Arsenal cannot afford to underestimate them.

Steve Bruce’s side bagged a 1-1 draw at Liverpool last weekend, and they will fancy their chances of defeating the Gunners on Sunday.

Predicted Newcastle starting line-up: Dubravka, Fernandez, Clark, Dummett, Murphy, Almiron, Shelvey, Longstaff, Ritchie, Saint-Maximin, Wilson.

Bruce is likely to make just one change to the side that drew at Anfield last week.

29-year-old striker Callum Wilson is expected to start in place of Joelinton this weekend.
