Arsenal head to Newcastle United on bank holiday Sunday in the sixth match of Gameweek 35.

Both teams enjoyed 3-1 wins in their most recent games, beating Chelsea and Southampton respectively.

Eddie Howe makes just one change to his Newcastle starting XI, with Callum Wilson coming in for Anthony Gordon, who drops to the bench.

That means Wilson and Alexander Isak start together for the first time in the Premier League, an intriguing development with Double Gameweek 36 on the horizon.

As for Arsenal, Gabriel Magalhaes is fit to start despite taking a knock in midweek, with Mikel Arteta’s only alteration seeing Gabriel Martinelli replace Leandro Trossard.

GAMEWEEK 35 LINE-UPS

Newcastle United XI: Pope, Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn, Guimaraes, Joelinton, Willock, Murphy, Isak, Wilson

Subs: Dubravka, Dummett, Gordon, Saint-Maximin, Lewis, Targett, Manquillo, Almiron, Anderson

Arsenal XI: Ramsdale, White, Kiwior, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Jorginho, Odegaard, Xhaka, Saka, Martinelli, Jesus

Subs: Turner, Tierney, Partey, Smith Rowe, Nketiah, Holding, Trossard, Vieira, Nelson

  4. bialk
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    I don't know why I've kept Saka.

  5. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Willock should score

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Fcking awful finish that

  6. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years

    Isak playing left back

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Clearly been told to stay out of the box

    2. RICICLE

      Figures, sums up my season

  7. Royal5

    Great game

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Really is tbf

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        Like fifa game where neither team can defend

        1. sminkypinky
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 26 days ago

          I thought Pool defended horribly yesterday. Didn’t deserve the cs imo. As a Trent owner.

          1. Royal5
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 26 days ago

            Agreed

  8. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Chance needed to fall to MURPH!

  9. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Yup Willock should've done better there. Would've been Wilson assist

  10. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Fantastic ball

  11. Ruinenlust
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    VARsenal very lucky so far

    1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Cry less?

  12. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Martinelli is terrible at times

    1. Ruinenlust
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      How he starts over Trossard is beyond me

      1. Utopsis
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        You can't comprehend why Arsenal's top scorer this season is still starting?

  13. putana
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    why is wilson allowed to grab onto ramsdale

  14. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Murphy 4.2 & Willock 4.7 cheap bench option?

  15. Free Hat
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    The moment i move for double new attack ,
    they will probably end up 0-0 twice in dgw

  16. FPL Emu
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    I don't think I've ever seen a player that -almost- gets injured as much as Fabian Schär

    1. Ruinenlust
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Wilson?

      1. FPL Emu
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        He actually gets injured. Schär sits down on the grass every other match like he's not able to continue. Five minutes later he's fine

        1. sminkypinky
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 26 days ago

          Drama queen.

  17. Total Foot 5

    Odeg this season

    Games: 34
    Goals: 15
    Assists: 7
    One of top 5 midfielders in world this past yr

    1. Free Hat
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Except for the 5 straight gws i owned him

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        This

    2. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Really stepped up

  18. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Burn & White coming on for Grealish & Stones. I wanna cry 😀

  19. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Be interesting what minutes isak/Wilson get now they have both started together?

  20. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Anyone got any stats/data that explains why Trippier attacking returns have dried up so much?

    They’ve scored a lot recently so can’t be that, earlier in the season he was getting an assist at least every other game.

    1. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      See recent corner.

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        Can’t be just because of his delivery, he’s consisteny

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 26 days ago

          *consistency

    2. Touré De Force
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      No stats / data but any opposition side worth their salt would plan to shut down that flank to nullify his threat

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        Fair could make sense

  21. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    How's Wilson looking?

    1. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Central

  22. sminkypinky
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Atm (with double new defence) I’m thinking of swapping Isak to Wilson. Too wide.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Isak is a poor pick

      1. sminkypinky
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        Depends where he plays. Wilson up kills him.

      2. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        Lmao

  23. JBG
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    I finally bench Ramsdale and they might end up with a CS. This game sometimes haha.

    1. FPL Emu
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Lol, it's the first half mate

      1. JBG
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        I know.. I'm exaggerating to make a point.

        1. FPL Emu
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 26 days ago

          You're not, you're trying to establish to everyone how unlucky you are

          1. JBG
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 26 days ago

            Sheesh... just trying to make myself and others laugh with an exaggerated post.

  24. EDUARDO DA SILVA
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Dan Burn really likes saka and young boys.

  25. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Jota to Isak?

    Already have Wilson

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Not sure Isak is worth it, watching this. I'm a Isak owner as well.

  26. The Senate
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Burn is such a thug lol

    Can’t believe he thinks he should be in the England squad

  27. Always a Red Devil
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    wow the newcastle penalty got overturned

  28. Free Hat
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Cpt either one of isak or wilson feels bit uneasy with uncertainty of position,minutes.
    But brighton midfield is the same atm...

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Yea thnking Haaland or Rashford atm.

      1. JBG
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        The same

    2. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      I was thinking Trip earlier. Second guessing that.

      1. Free Hat
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        Yeah, wouldnt feel comfy with new Def atm and i have two...

    1. The Senate
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Awful sportsman

    2. FPL Emu
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      It's textbook Newcastle stuff

  30. EDUARDO DA SILVA
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Joelinton and Richarlison can’t be brasilians with that football ability and ball control.

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Joelinton has been fantastic all season
