Arsenal vs. Newcastle United: Key players to watch this weekend in Premier League contest

Arsenal would be up against Eddie Howe’s men in an all important match this weekend as both sides would go against each other at the Emirates Stadium.

Both sides would be in dire need of the available point but it remains to be seen who picks up the maximum points at the end of the game.

Arsenal’s clash with Newcastle would see the class of Mikel Arleta go face to face with Eddie Howe in the coaching dugout.

But there are certain key players that can make huge difference in this match. Here Allnews.ng evaluates these key players to watch as the match looms in earnest.

Kai Harvertz (Arsenal, attacking midfielder)

The German would be a big asset to his side going into this tie against Eddie Howe’s men at the Emirates.

He’s been top quality personnel who have given a lot to the Gunners side as a whole.

His movement and touch of class could be the key for the Gunners in this contest. While his eye for goals make him danger specie for the Newcastle United side.

Mikel Arteta would be banking on his talent as they hope to win at home to keep pace with rivals Liverpool and Manchester City in the title race.

Alexander Isak (Newcastle United, central striker)

The talented Swede striker Isak would be a bright inclusion in his side’s squad traveling to Emirates Stadium to face Arsenal.

His move from Spanish side Real Sociedad is a welcome development as he’s been delivering the good for the Magpies this term.

Arsenal knows what he can do as they even sought to bring him to the North London at some point in the past.

Mikel Arteta and his Arsenal defence must keep an eye on him ahead of this match otherwise they may have to kiss the three point’s good bye at the end of this match despite the fact that they will be playing at home.

Bukayo Saka (Arsenal, winger)

The Nigeria-born talent Bukayo Saka has made his mark on the Arsenal colours as he’s been honoured with the Number 7 in essence.

Ahead of this match he carries one of Arsenal’s major hopes in the final third. He’s been a blessing to the North London side.

And we look forward he can do on the pitch alongside the Arsenal quality trio of Kai Harvertz, Gabriel Jesus and Martin Odegaard in the course of this match.
