◉ About the match against Arsenal
Eddiehao said: "I think during my coaching period, we've been competitive against Arsenal, and these games have a gunpowder smell because I feel both sides are extremely eager to win. Yes, we encourage this kind of competition to some extent. I think the more competitive we are, the better we play. So of course we need to show that side of our game."
"I think you're playing so often with these teams and other teams in the Premier League, and it turns out there are ups and downs, and sometimes you're better against one team than against other teams. Our last match against Bournemouth was disappointing, but when you invested in the I don't think about this during the game. You'll think it's a whole new game, a new opportunity to show yourself. So we always have the attitude of drawing a line from the past. "
" The past doesn't matter. But you need to take as positively as possible and move forward with it. So we'll try to do that. But it's a whole new game, and Arsenal is a different team. "
◉ Fitness concerns about Newcastle United's multi-line battle
In the 0-0 draw with Bournemouth last weekend, Eddiehao also had seven rotations in the 4-1 victory over Bradford City in Wednesday's League Cup. There are multiple adjustments expected in this game, some of which may be forced, as Eddie Howe revealed that several players have physical examinations and confirmations.
Eddiehao said: "We have several players who need physical examination today to see how they are in, there were no serious injuries in the last game. I think everyone's physical condition looks pretty good in the game."
◉ Although he missed the game against Bradford City due to dealing with the Achilles tendon problem, Jacob Murphy is expected to play.
Eddiehao said: "Yes, he's in good condition. It's a problem we're managing. The Achilles tendon problem sometimes persists and players need to deal with it. We've had several players dealing with it in the past few seasons. He's in this state at the moment, physically fine, can play, and it's the same before. But maybe he'll feel sore on some days, so we're just trying to manage his load."
"Visa's knee and Jacob Ramsey's ankle problems will continue to be absent until after international match days, and Fabian Schal will miss Arsenal due to a concussion, but is expected to return in the away game against San Giros in the Champions League."
