Arsenal are taking on Newcastle United in the Premier League at St. James' Park, and the Gunners have sent a huge team news hint

Arsenal appear to have dropped a hint regarding Mikel Arteta's starting line-up ahead of today's Premier League clash against Newcastle United.

Mikel Arteta's side snapped a four-game winless run on Tuesday evening when they secured a 3-1 victory over Chelsea, a match that saw Jakub Kiwior replace Rob Holding in the heart of the Gunners' defence. Now, the club's official Instagram page has posted a matchday graphic ahead of Sunday's match against the Magpies with Kiwior the player on display - perhaps a hint that the Polish international is in line to start again today at St James' Park.

"He's got the potential at his age to be great and I think he had a big task against the players he had to face today and I think he did really well." The former Spezia centre-half started alongside Gabriel Magalhaes on Tuesday but the Brazilian was forced off in the second half after picking up some kind of knock.

football.london understands that it was an ankle injury that forced him off before receiving treatment in the dressing room. However, he conducted post-match media duties with international broadcasters as usual upon his exit from the stadium.

"We will have to see tomorrow how he is," said Arteta during his pre-match press conference on Friday. "He couldn't finish the game, so that's obviously a big sign.

"We will see how he is tomorrow." Since then, Goal have reported that Gabriel is winning his battle to be fit for the game on Tyneside, a huge boost to the Gunners.
