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.

Eddie Howe has provided an update on Alexander Isak after the Swedish international dropped out of Sunday’s matchday squad.

The Gunners ran out 1-0 winners at The Emirates Stadium, with Isak picking up a groin injury in the lead-up to the game. That result means Manchester City still have Champions League football in their own control ahead of the clash with Bournemouth on Wednesday evening and can move above Newcastle with a win.
