Newcastle United vs. Arsenal live score: Premier League result, updates, stats from Sunday match image

Two sides desperate not to fall too far behind in the Premier League table meet in a Sunday spotlight match as Newcastle United host title hopefuls Arsenal at St. James' Park.

The Gunners find themselves five points adrift from league leaders Liverpool but have a chance to draw closer after the Reds fell to Crystal Palace on Saturday, their first dropped points of the domestic campaign.

Newcastle have experienced a spotty start to the new season, with just one win and six points in total from their first five Premier League games. That has left the Magpies with a significant early gap to make up if they are to remain in the hunt for European qualification.

The Sporting News is following the Newcastle vs. Arsenal match live, providing score updates, commentary, and analysis.

Newcastle United vs. Arsenal live updates, highlights from Premier League

67 mins: Howe changes all three of his starting attackers, bringing on Kieran Trippier, Anthony Elanga and Will Osula. It looks like he's shifting to a back five.

65 mins: Rice hasn't had much influence on the game, but that's a brilliant piece of defending to track Murphy's run on the break and block his shot. Excellent from the Arsenal midfielder.

60 mins: Pope denies Timber! Martin Zubimendi floats a gorgeous pass over the heads of the crowed box and Timber nods it goalwards, but Pope gets down and claws it away, helped by the lack of pace on the header.

57 mins: Joelinton shifts onto his left foot and drills a shot/cross across the box and out for a goal kick. Could a Newcastle player have gambled there and tried to get a touch?

51 mins: Rice's corner is cleared, and Raya ends up with the ball in the centre circle. His long kick is caught easily by Pope. "SHOOOOOT!" cry the home fans. He decides against it.

46 mins: WOLTEMADE HITS THE BAR! Saliba's first contribution is to make a mess of an intercepted clearance, but Woltemade can only prod a shot against the woodwork from six yards out! The flag goes up for offside, anyway.

Kickoff: Second half

Arsenal bring on William Saliba for Cristhian Mosquera.

Halftime

Newcastle take their 1-0 lead into the break.

Watch the first-half highlights with Fubo (Canada only):

42 mins: Arsenal have pinned Newcastle back for much of the remaining minutes of this half, but they can't pick their way through. Every tackled won by Malick Thiaw, Gordon, Dan Burns and others has been cheered to the rafters.

34 mins: GOAL! NEWCASTLE LEAD! A short corner is worked between Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali, and the latter crosses towards the six-yard box, where Nick Woltemade nods past David Raya and into the net. Arsenal want a foul for a push by Woltemade on Gabriel, but VAR says contact was minimal.

Watch (UK):

29 mins: Pope denies Eze! Riccardo Calafiori's long throw is only half cleared. Eze smashes a half-volley towards goal from the edge of the box, but Pope is equal to it and parries the ball well clear.

25 mins: TROSSARD HITS THE POST! Arsenal have reacted well to the setback of that penalty call. A slick attacking move ends in Declan Rice feeding Leandro Trossard, whose powerful shot smacks off the woodwork, and Newcastle clear.

17 mins: PENALTY OVERTURNED! After a long, long look at the footage by VAR and the referee, the decision is that Pope got a touch on the ball, so there was no foul! You can see by the footage that the Newcastle goalkeeper got his toe to it. It's a fair decision, and yet, you could also argue Gyokeres was going to score regardless of Pope's touch on the ball before he took the striker out, and therefore a penalty should have been given. That's a tough one. I'm sure everyone will agree in the end...

Watch (USA):

Watch (UK):

15 mins: PENALTY TO ARSENAL! Jacob Murphy's poor backpass is pounced on by Viktor Gyokeres, and Pope brings the striker down. Or did he? It's being checked...

12 mins: After a slow start, Newcastle have upped the ante here. Tino Livramento forces a corner after the home side turned over possession near the Gunners' box. Arsenal have some defending to do.

4 mins: What a save from Nick Pope! Eze controls the ball really well with his right foot and fires towards the bottom corner with his left, but Newcastle's keeper gets a hand down to the shot.

Kickoff: First half

Here we go!

35 mins to kickoff: Howe is keeping his cards close to his chest regarding Newcastle's set-up today. "There's a few different ways we can go. We can change our shape if we need to. You'll find out [the formation] in no time," he said.

Arteta, meanwhile, expects a "physical" game, adding: "These stadiums and these moments make your team. Those challenges make a better team."

He also said he's trying to protect Saliba's ankle injury, while Odegaard is "desperate to get on the pitch".

1 hour to kickoff: Eddie Howe looks to be sticking with his 3-5-2 set-up. Anthony Gordon comes back into the lineup after suspension, and he partners Nick Woltemade in attack.

1 hour 13 mins to kickoff: Arsenal have gone a bit early with their team news. Eberechi Eze starts, but interestingly, he'll be in central midfield, with Leandro Trossard further forward. Cristhian Mosquera keeps his place at the back, with William Saliba not yet risked from the start. Martin Odegaard is on the bench.

1 hour 29 mins to kickoff: It's a glorious day in England's north east.

2 hours to kickoff: It seemed every Premier League title contender except Liverpool had started slowly, Arsenal included. So with the Reds finally blinking, and no more perfect clubs left in the English top flight, it is imperative that the Gunners snatch three points today and pull within two.

That will be a tough task indeed, as Eddie Howe has traditionally given Mikel Arteta fits. Even when Arsenal were at their best last season, they could not get results against Newcastle.

Newcastle United vs. Arsenal lineups, team news

Howe looks to be sticking with the 3-5-2 he trialed during the 0-0 draw with Bournemouth last time out.

Newcastle are without Yoane Wissa, Fabian Schar, and Jacob Ramsey due to injuries, but Jacob Murphy has passed fit and comes in at wing-back.

Anthony Gordon, Bruno Guimaraes, and Joelinton are all in the lineup despite logging at least an hour in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.

Newcastle starting lineup (3-5-2, right to left): Pope (GK) — Thiaw, Botman, Burn — Murphy, Tonali, Guimaraes, Joelinton, Livramento — Gordon, Woltemade

Newcastle subs: Ramsdale, Trippier, Lascelles, Barnes, Krafth, Osula, Elanga, Willock, Miley

Arsenal's injury list just keeps on ticking over, a frustrating new normal for Mikel Arteta over the last 18 months.

Piero Hincapie is the latest to pick up a new fitness issue, as a groin problem has ruled him out until after the October international break. Kai Havertz continues to work towards a comeback in about a month, while in-form Noni Madueke will miss a number of weeks due to a knee injury. The status of Martin Odegaard is fluid, as he works back from a recurrence of his shoulder issue.

Madueke's injury likely means a run in the first-team for Eberechi Eze, although he starts in central midfield today. Leandro Trossard and Bukayo Saka flank Viktor Gyokeres in attack.

Arsenal starting lineup (4-3-3, right to left): Raya (GK) — Timber, Mosquera, Gabriel, Calafiori — Eze, Zubimendi, Rice — Saka, Gyokeres, Trossard

Arsenal subs: Kepa, Saliba, Lewis-Skelly, White, Odegaard, Norgaard, Merino, Martinelli, Dowman
