Main Body
Arsenal and Manchester City have the same number of points. City are playing in the FA Cup this weekend. Arsenal can go to the top of the league if they win. Newcastle are in 14th place. They lost three games in a row. They probably will not play in Europe next season. Gordon hurt his hip in the last game. He did not play against Bournemouth. Manager Eddie Howe said Gordon will not travel to London. The injury is not serious. Gordon will train again next week. Some people said Gordon wanted to leave the club. Howe said Gordon is really hurt. Livramento hurt his groin or thigh in the Bournemouth game. Howe said the first tests show a bad injury. More tests will happen this weekend. They will see if Livramento can play again this season. Livramento had a hard season. He could not play many games in a row. He played for England in two games last month. The World Cup team list must be ready by May 30. His injury may stop him from going to the World Cup. Other Newcastle players are also out. Joelinton cannot play because he got ten yellow cards.
