This will be the 21st time Eddie Howe has managed against Arsenal, picking up 6 wins in the process, with three of those coming in his last three meetings.. In 11 fixtures against Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta, Howe has a record of five wins, two draws and four losses.
Newcastle United could leapfrog Arsenal into second position with one game remaining in the Premier League season. If Newcastle were able to finish above Arsenal, it would be just the fifth time in Premier League history, and the first time since the 1996/97 season, where Newcastle United and Arsenal finished tied on points with 68, but Newcastle finished in second place with a better goal difference of +33 compared to Arsenal's +30.
Alexander Isak comes into Sunday's game with 23 Premier League goals on the season already exceeding his total of 21 last season. If he scores once more he'll move into third place for the most goals in a Premier League season by a Newcastle United player, currently tied for third with Alan Shearer in the 1999/00 and 2001/02 seasons, while currently trailing Les Ferdinand and Shearer who both scored 25 in the 1995/96 and 1996/97 seasons respectively, and also behind Andy Cole who scored 34 times in Newcastle United's debut Premier League season in 1993/94.
After providing an assist on Sandro Tonali's goal last weekend against Chelsea, Jacob Murphy moves to 12 assists on the season, the third most in a single season by a Newcastle United player in the Premier League era, behind Nolberto Solano with 15 in the 1999/00 season, and Andy Cole with 14 in the 1993/94 season.
As the tallest player to play in the Premier League this season, it's no surprise that Dan Burn wins a lot of aerial duels. In fact, the 136 aerial duels he's won this season are the most in the league, and make up 30% of all aerial duels won by Newcastle United this year.
