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

      Pity for schar

      1. EDUARDO DA SILVA

        Why pity? Deserved, after dirty fouls and elbow still on the pitch, football karma at best.

    Yes Marti boy!!!

  11. Bishopool

    Isak solid hustle player. Martinelli the best player on the field though.

    Man Arsenal are good just not against Man City. They’ll be challenging again next season no doubt.

    1. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      mmmm. They need much more squad depth.

      1. Milk, 1 Šuker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        Oh absolutely. Centre of defence and midfield and possibly another winger/striker

        1. Gubby-Allen
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 26 days ago

          If they sign a central defender, the player will know that he is 5th choice behind Saliva, Gabriel, Kiwior and Tomiyasu and won't get in the 20 until winter injuries.

          1. Deulofail
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 26 days ago

            Not true is it. A new RCB would likely be 2nd choice for the RCB role

            1. Gubby-Allen
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 26 days ago

              Kiwior was in the team of the WC for a lot of people. You don't put two CBs on a bench, so they won't be dropping him from the 20. Nor is Arteta much of a rotator.

              1. Deulofail
                • 10 Years
                3 years, 26 days ago

                He's a LCB. Arteta already showed faith in Holding for RCB as a right footer. Kiwior will be competition and cover, playing in Europe and cups and waiting for Gabriel to be injured or lose form. If arsenal don't sign a CB, Kiwior will still be on the bench , so I.don't understand your logic

      2. Gubby-Allen
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        I don't think they do. Other than Rice in. Smith-Rowe was top scorer last season, needs a good summer. Patino and Balogun will add a lot more of they stay.

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 26 days ago

          Patino is leaving. And good chance balogun will too

      Arsenal screwed up. The title was theirs. Completely failed season from the position they were

      1. Gubby-Allen
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        Not helped by a side finishing (probably) with 15 straight wins.

        Even Celtic or PSG aren't in leagues with stats as one sided as that.

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

      depends if they can keep hold of there best players too

    4. TO MEE TO AYEW
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Balogun has 19 goals in 35 games for Reims this season, would be nice to see him in the Prem next year, could be like a new striker signing

  13. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Wow. A few people player Schar over Trippier for a differential as well. Ouch.

  14. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Please waste all of the time, Arsenal!

    What a performance...

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

    Wilson has been useless.

  16. PartyTime

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years

  20. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Just need Manchester City to slip up to a draw for a proper title run in.

    Everton away next up ...

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

      Easy 0-3

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        Pep reckoned it was one of the tougher fixtures at Goodison Park.

  21. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Anyone selling Trippier ahead of the DGW

    1. Cojones of Destiny
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      no transfers are precious

  22. Alan The Llama

    Schar owners sharing the points around.

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      Scharhaha

  23. JBG

    3 years, 26 days ago

    Please score Newcastle... Ramsdale with 9pts is staring at me on my bench.

    1. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Who is your keeper?

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

        Kepa

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

    Casemiro would’ve been sent off for that Burn tackle

  25. jacob1989
    • 4 Years

    Get martinelli pts for grealish. Will take it

    1. Milk, 1 Šuker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Clotted cream with that jam?

  26. Milk, 1 Šuker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Anyone sure they want to double up on the Newcastle attackers for next GW lol

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

      Isak has been unlucky, Willock as well. Wilson on the other hand, besides that 1 yard pass, invisible.

    2. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      They have had a lot of chances and it's Arsenal.

    3. Sure You Did
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      I sure do.

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

      Still going for it, might not dare to captain though...

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

      theyve been the better side tbf just a bit unlucky

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

    Do something Isak!

  28. Jon Snow
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Trippier still stealing a living in everyone's teams, very lucky there's a double coming up

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Still time to get a couple of assists
