Arsenal are hopeful that both Kieran Tierney and Gabriel Martinelli can shake off injuries to face Newcastle United in the Premier League on Monday.

The duo missed the Gunners’ drab draw with Crystal Palace on Thursday, where Mikel Arteta’s side once again struggled to break down their opponent. Newcastle have been in worse form of late, and they followed up their FA Cup defeat with a loss to bottom of the table Sheffield United.

Ahead of Monday's visit of the Magpies, Arteta says he feels the injuries suffered by the likes of Tierney and Pablo Mari will become more commonplace before the end of the season.

Asked if there was a risk of burnout due to the amount of games, Arteta replied: "Yes. We have been trying to manage it.

"But the reality is that the fixtures are what they are and we didn't have a pre-season, which is why - and we've talked about it many, many times - one of the reasons we wanted the five subs.

"It was exactly that. But this is just the consequences and this will happen more and more, I think, and to more clubs."

What is the team news?

Confirmed line-ups

AFC XI: Leno, Cedric, Luiz, Holding, Tierney, Partey, Xhaka, Saka, Smith Rowe, Aubameyang, Lacazette

NUFC XI: Darlow, Krafth, Lascelles, Clark, Lewis, Shelvey, M. Longstaff, Almiron, Joelinton, Carroll, Wilson

Odds

Arsenal: 4/9

Draw: 7/2

Newcastle: 7/1

Prediction

Both sides are in worrying form, and their FA Cup clash didn’t exactly set pulses racing. However, Newcastle are in a really bad run under Bruce, and it wouldn’t be a surprise if Arsenal nicked a truly scrappy game. 1-0 Arsenal.
