Newcastle
Jamaal Lascelles may have taken on a bit-part role this season, but Eddie Howe was bitterly disappointed to learn that his captain had picked up a season-ending calf injury in the gym, joining ACL victim Emil Krafth on the long-term absentee list.
Sean Longstaff (ankle) and Allan Saint-Maximin (thigh) will also need once-overs before the visit of the title chasers, but Howe should not risk either man unnecessarily, while Ryan Fraser - previously a target of Arsenal's - continues his exile in the Under-21s.
Howe's toss-up between Wilson or Alexander Isak to lead the line just became all the more difficult thanks to the former's heroic substitute display, but Isak will expect to retain his place up top for now. Miguel Almiron is a strong contender to come in for Anthony Gordon, though.
Newcastle United possible starting lineup:
Pope; Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn; Willock, Guimaraes, Joelinton; Murphy, Isak, Almiron
Arsenal
Meanwhile, Arsenal boss Arteta admitted concern over defender Gabriel Magalhaes when he came off injured in the dying embers of their win over Chelsea, especially with one first-choice defender in William Saliba (back) sure to miss out once more.
Despite dropping to the turf a few times before being taken off, Gabriel's ankle issue apparently did not stop him from conducting post-game media duties, and there is a strong chance that he will be passed fit for Sunday. Takehiro Tomiyasu and Mohamed Elneny both remain out with their season-ending knee problems.
Arteta made the big call to introduce Jakub Kiwior into the first XI for the win over Chelsea, and the Poland international ought to retain his spot following an accomplished display, but Leandro Trossard will likely make way for Gabriel Martinelli.
Arsenal possible starting lineup:
Ramsdale; White, Kiwior, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Xhaka, Partey; Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli; Jesus
Prediction: Newcastle United 2-2 Arsenal
