With Everton having lost to the Saints on Saturday, Arsenal now have a chance to extend their lead over the toffees to 4 points and make a giant leap towards the champions league qualification. Gunners host Newcastle United, who are in a free fall mode ever since the departure of their influential midfielder Cabaye to PSG.
So, What are the options available for Wenger to field his strongest possible eleven against the Toons? We will discuss it here.
Arsenal Predicted Lineup Vs Newcastle United
Goal Keeper And Defense
Szczesny
Even though Fabianski is doing good in cup games, Szczesny is still best suited for league games as he is good at dealing with long balls, ball distributing and shot-stopping.
Sagna
The French right-back may not be a gunner next season, but still he is one of the most consistent Arsenal player down the years. He will start in his usual right-back position.
Koscielny
Koscielny will take up his usual hard-tacking role in the Central defense. He will be given the tough job of neutralizing Remy’s pace and trickery.
Mertesacker
German giant will leader the defence and will look to dominate the Newcastle attackers both in the ground and in air.
Vermaelen
Vermaelen who missed the last game due to sickness is back again and we feel he should be given the green light to start ahead of Monreal. Vermaelen can help the defense during set pieces and also has enough attacking threat to make regular overlapping runs from the left.
