Arsenal fought hard in the Champions league but in vain as they were eliminated from the competition yet again in the round of 16.
The Gunners must now focus on finishing as high in the premier league as possible. For now, they are only a single point behind Man City but Man United and Liverpool are chasing as well hence they must not drop points.
North Londoners face Newcastle United away from home in the league and the magpies are in bad form at the moment.
Everton defeated Newcastle 3-0 last weekend and Arsenal should be considered favorites given the kind of form they are in.
As far as the team news is concerned, although Gabriel is back from injury but Mertesacker and Koscielny have done well and may as well keep their places.
Alexis Sanchez has been out of form for the Gunners and perhaps needs some rest as well. Expect Theo Walcott to take his place in the starting XI.
Here is Arsenal’s probable starting XI vs Newcastle United.

At this crucial movement of the premium league, teams like Liverpool, Manchester united and Spurs are posing constant threat to cardinal spots of the table. Arsenal only means of surviving and avoiding playoff to the champion league next season is to keep player like Theo on the bench for substitution. Alexis presence in a game regardless of his poor form, keeps the defense of the opponent cautious of risk. Wenger, please use Alexis against New Castle United because we can’t afford to loss a point, I am even 1 point.
Wenger dont gamble wit us! There’s no time for errors.
this guy need quite a rest. he had played too many matches that if care is not taking, the consequence might not be pleasant next season hence, need to be given time off. Look at the bench now, I think we have player who are eager to give their own worth
