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

    Wan-Bassaka now ahead of Dalot evidently

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I think it’s more a rotation thing. Dalot will start next game.

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Not really, have a look at his game time in recent games compared to Malacia and AWB. Just his turn for a rest

  2. Red Star Toro
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Cmon Isak

  3. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Need Bruno to save my gameweek

  4. JBG
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Bruno G been awful this match.

    1. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      The niggle has trumped the skill for a while now

      1. Hairy Potter
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah, he probably would have been given a rest for his ankle, but we don't have anyone else who can play his position.

    Arsenal keeping the title & top 4 races honest is great work from them!

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      They could have kept it more honest by not bottling Southampton and West Ham

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Nah, win them games & today would have been a massive win and basically won the title...

  6. Royal5

    Who are people capping next week then?

    1. Goodfeathers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Isak currently

    2. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Tripps

    3. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Probably Mitoma

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Yh considering him.

    4. Milk, 1 Šuker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Odegaard

  7. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Bruno G with one of the worst performances I've ever seen in the PL. On level with Renato Sanches for Swansea.

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      You never watched Newcastle under Steve Bruce.

  8. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Well Isak and Wilson double up went well!

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Well you got the minutes, just not the attacking returns.

  9. Sure You Did
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    You know you have had a terrible game when you can't beat Arsenal or at least score.

    1. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Doesn't make sense

      1. Alan The Llama
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        This. It's such low level trolling that my over-riding sense is one of pity.

    2. Always a Red Devil
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      heres some attention

    3. Letsgo!
      • 9 Years

  11. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    What a game - Lyon 5 Montpellier 4.

    Lacazette and Wahl both scored 4 each. Even lovren scored.

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Wow Lovren is still playing in a major(ish) league?

    2. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Wow 😀 Lovren as in Dejan Lovren playing in France?

      1. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        I love the way 2 players score 4 goals each, but lovren playing is the major surprise. 🙂

        He's only 33!

  12. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Schar -2

  13. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    How has Tripper not been booked in this game.

  14. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Schar is a disgrace

    1. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      You forgot to mention about 10 other Newcastle players

      1. The Senate
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        This. Are they Burnley in disguise?

  15. EDUARDO DA SILVA
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Schar is still on the pitch?
    Gray hair donkey.

  16. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Didn’t watch. How did Marty get an assist from that?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      His cross diverted into the goal.

  17. Gubby-Allen
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    23 including 3 off the bench from Saka.

    Steele, Shaw and Mitoma to come.

    Anyone lower?

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah I've only 22 with 3 coming off the benares with Shaw Mitoma and estu to go.

      1. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Off the Benares?

    2. JBG
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      23 with Estupinan, Mitoma, Bruno and Rashford left.

      Ramsdale and 10pts on my bench.

    3. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      21

  18. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Take that Trippier 1 point. Could have been worse.

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      *Looks at Schar.

  19. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Lovely Isak blank 🙂

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      2 points not a blank in my book

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        This GW, true!

      2. Gubby-Allen
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        That is a haul for me this GW.

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Matched Haaland tbf

  20. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    As an only Rash owner and Pool supporter, can I get a Antonio master class?

    1. Always a Red Devil
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      if youre a pool supporter yeah people get really heated on here if you support a team playing against the one you support though

  21. romperstomper
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Amazingly Trips was the highest scoring Newcastle player and finished just outside the baps

  22. Hairy Potter
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Fair play Arsenal, outclassed Newcastle today. Passing too slick, especially from the back, and stop Bruno G from getting into the game.

  23. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    That win must be annoying for Arsenal fans, makes them Southampton & West Ham draws 10x worse...

  24. tbos83
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Captaincy is wide open now

    1. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Nothing has changed. Could have been 3:2 Toon or Gunners or anything in between

      Cracking game of football

  25. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Somehow went from a red to a green from that game with only Burn & White...

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Kinda obvious why, no?

      1. Zenith UK
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        One clean sheet turns my red to a green? Didn't think it would to be honest.

  26. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    City only drew at home to Everton....

  27. balint84
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Big headache next week captaining sitiation
    DGWers not conviced me. Maybe a surprise Schär (C) after this week? Mitima against Ars & New?
    Salah, Haaland, Kane, Rashford? 🙁

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Maybe Trippier
      If he gets CS + 1 assist + 3 bonus in both = 48 points captain

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Are you really going to captain him after 12 blanks in 15?

        1. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          More worry about minutes if you go Wilson
          Not sure about Haaland with two CL games either side
          Brighton mids saw rotation last double
          Tricky one

          1. F_Ivanovic
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            I think Brighton mids should be fine for this double. 6 day gap till Arsenal and then 4 days before Newcastle. They'll want near enough full strength for both. Rotation more likely to happen at Southampton which is only 3 days after. But yeah - they're tough fixtures either way

  28. Milk, 1 Šuker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    This title is going to the wire

    1. Thanos
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Going to Man City 😛

  29. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    So who to get for double after game today?

    A Wilson
    B Isak
    C -4 for both

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      How did Wilson play, or did Isak with Wilson together not work? (missed the game)

      Isak i have at the moment but i may bench Botman at this rate

      1. Hairy Potter
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Didn't really work. The team really missed Longstaff in midfield, in my opinion. The fact was Arsenal were also the better team. Depending on Longstaff's fitness, ASM, Joelinton or Gordon could start on the left against Leeds. That would mean Isak or Wilson for the striker spot.

        1. Crunchie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Thank you

  30. El Presidente

    Great performance from Arsenal and incredibly only 2 yc for Newcastle players after their spanking festival
