Things are not going as well as Newcastle had hoped in the league. With 12 points from 9 league games, they are currently in 12th place in the table. Coach Eddie Howe's team has not won a single game in the last 5 league games. This is also the reason for their fall into the middle of the table. Howe will have to do without Kieran Trippier, Martin Dubravka and Anthony Gordon due to injury. On the other hand, things are going better for Arsenal. The London based club, which many see as the dark horse to win the English championship is currently in third place with 18 points, five points behind league leaders Manchester City. Things are going well for the Gunners not only in the league but also in the Champions League. They have two wins and one draw. The 2-0 victory over Paris St. Germain stands out. Coach Mikel Arteta is currently without two important players. In addition to Bukayo Saka the midfielder Martin Odegaard is also missing due to injury.
