Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe don yan say centre-back Sven Botman no get injury and e ready to face Arsenal on Sunday.
Di Gunners go resume di chase for Premier League title dis weekend as dem go play di Magpies, and dem go try build on top di 2-0 win wey dem get against Port Vale for EFL Cup on Wednesday.
Boss Mikel Arteta sabi say anything wey no be win fit really affect dem because dem don already dey five points behind league leaders Liverpool.
Newcastle go tough for St James’ Park, even though some people dey worry about Botman fitness.
After Newcastle 4-1 win against Bradford City on Wednesday, Howe rassure supporters say Botman no wahala; e just dey substituted make Alex Murphy get chance play. E talk say: “Yeah, e dey fine. Di [substitution] na just to give Alex [Murphy] some minutes.”

Why Arsenal need watch Newcastle United threat well
Newcastle don win three of their last four matches against Arsenal for all competitions, and dem don win di last three home games against di Londoners.
Di Toon even recover from two-goal deficit against Liverpool for August, even as dem dey play with 10 men, although dem still concede di winner for second-half stoppage time.
Arsenal fit still get wahala to break down Newcastle because dem opponents don keep four clean sheets for five Premier League matches.
Di Gunners dey struggle to create chances from open play, and e no go shock anybody if Newcastle dey give possession to exploit Arsenal lack of creativity.
Does Mikel Arteta need to beat Newcastle United to avoid pressure?
Arteta don face plenty criticism after e use midfield of Declan Rice, Mikel Merino and Martin Zubimendi against Manchester City last Sunday, as many supporters talk say e too cautious.
Di Gunners boss defend him choice, but people dey fear say e fit no deliver because of defensive style.
If dem lose dis Sunday, di Londoners fit fall eight points behind Liverpool after just six league games, and even though dem fit recover later, e go demoralise to dey chase Liverpool like dis.
Arteta head coach position dey safe for now, but after another big summer spending, more question marks fit show if team fall far behind Liverpool.
