Newcastle United vs Arsenal Match Preview
Steve Bruce embarks on the unenviable task of trying to win over the long-suffering Newcastle fans by taking the big scalp of Arsenal on the opening weekend of the new season.
Appointed in charge of his hometown club last month after Rafael Benitez’s departure, Bruce has been condemned for being a ‘dinosaur manager’ (the fans’ words, not ours), a former Sunderland boss and the latest poor decision made by Newcastle’s hugely unpopular owner Mike Ashley.
One of the most active Premier League clubs in the market, the Gunners were conducting business right up to the deadline on Thursday and at the time of writing they looked set to complete deals for defenders David Luiz and Kieran Tierney.
