ARS vs NEW Dream11 Match Preview, Team News, Lineups
It’s going to be a game of debuts on the Tyneside as Newcastle United host Arsenal in the Premier League at St James’ Park.
The Toons are under the new management following Rafael Benitez’s decision to quit the club after the end of last season. The former Liverpool manager cited the club’s reluctance to spend on new arrivals as the reason for his sudden u-turn, but new boss Steve Bruce seemed to have got the support from the underfire owner of Newcastle Mike Ashley.
The Magpies broke their club transfer record after shelling out in the region of £40m for Hoffenheim striker Joelinton. But Bruce knows that with the new signings will come pressure to get the best out of the squad. Any flirtation with the relegation could very well end his tenure at the club he has been a supporter since childhood.
Arsenal hope that a successful transfer window will be the start of a new dawn at the Emirates Stadium. Unai Emery managed to discuss the defensive issue as well after the signing of Keiran Tierney from Celtic.
But the Gunners’ offensive department looks as good as any team in the world and every team facing them will have to be on their toes for the full 90 minutes.
