The clash of the new number 9s: Gyökeres vs Woltemade
This weekend's Premier League showdown at St James' Park isn't just a battle between two historic clubs; it's a thrilling preview of the future as two new number nines square off.
As Newcastle United face Arsenal on Sunday, 28 September at 5:30PM, all eyes will be on Viktor Gyökeres and Nick Woltemade - two players who have the power to decide the outcome of this high-stakes contest.
In a game where every goal could be the difference, these two strikers could determine the fine line between a memorable win and a heartbreaking loss.
Viktor Gyökeres: Arsenal's ruthless addition

Arsenal’s headline summer signing, Viktor Gyökeres, arrived from Sporting CP after a sensational season that saw him net an astonishing 54 goals across all competitions.
He has wasted no time making his mark in England, finding the back of the net three times in his first five Premier League matches.
The Swedish striker adds a potent mix of power, intelligent movement, and a ruthless presence inside the box - qualities Arsenal have long craved. Against a formidable Newcastle defence, Gyökeres will be a constant threat.
His ability to hold up the ball, create space for his teammates, and finish chances with clinical precision could prove to be the key to unlocking the Magpies' backline and tilting the game in Arsenal's favour.
Nick Woltemade: Newcastle's debut hero

On the other side of the pitch stands Nick Woltemade, a player who instantly became a hero in the eyes of the Tyneside faithful by scoring on his debut.
While he has only one league goal this season, his impact goes beyond the stat sheet. As Newcastle reshapes its attack following the departure of Alexander Isak, Woltemade’s presence, smart movement, and link-up play have been crucial.
Arsenal's defence has been praised for its tightness and discipline, but Woltemade’s ability to create pockets of space and exploit any hesitation could be the exact weapon needed to penetrate their well-drilled backline.
If he can capitalise on a single chance, he could become the game-changer for Newcastle.
The verdict: a battle for supremacy

This clash is set to be a spectacle of contrasting styles, with each team relying on their new talisman to lead the charge.
Gyökeres, with Arsenal's sharp, high-tempo attacking style, and Woltemade, spearheading Newcastle's gritty and resilient approach, will be at the heart of the action.
This match is far from just a game; it is a battle of pride and ambition, where two modern number nines will fight for supremacy and write the next chapter in their clubs' history.
