Callum Wilson, who has endured a rotten run of injuries himself, led the line for the visitors at the Emirates. In stark contrast to Newcastle’s misfortune, Arsenal were able to welcome Kai Havertz back to his first matchday squad since suffering a severe hamstring injury in January.

Howe went on to effectively rule out Trippier for the trip to the Emirates Stadium after he missed the win over Chelsea with a calf issue. Willock has been nursing a knee problem and scored on Newcastle’s previous visit to the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League last February.

Alexander Isak is not in the Newcastle United squad for the trip to Arsenal on Sunday, missing out due to a minor groin injury. Magpies boss Eddie Howe has made just one change after beating Chelsea last time out, bringing in Callum Wilson for the injured Swede.
