In the previous meeting between the two sides, the 26-year-old was prominently involved as Anthony Gordon’s goal secured a 1-0 victory for Newcastle United in a match marred by controversy.
The clash at St James’ Park was marked by intense moments, triggering reactions from both sets of fans. It commenced with Kai Havertz’s reckless challenge on Sean Longstaff, which only saw him receive a booking, and escalated with Bruno Guimaraes’ unnecessary foul on Arsenal’s Jorginho. The Brazilian midfielder collided with Jorginho from behind, narrowly escaping a red card.
Now, Bruno faces the challenge of avoiding further disciplinary action, and this could prove to be his toughest test
Bruno Guimaraes may struggle to avoid getting booked vs Arsenal
Since the 3-2 loss to Manchester City, Bruno has been walking a disciplinary tightrope. With nine bookings this season, he’s one caution away from a two-game suspension.
Losing the Brazilian midfielder would be a significant blow, prompting him to exercise extra caution on the field.
Bruno has noticeably avoided situations that could lead to bookings, managing to go four consecutive Premier League games without a yellow card.
His discipline will be crucial when facing Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, a venue where avoiding the referee’s attention can be challenging.
Given the physical nature of their previous encounter at St James’ Park, Bruno could face a similar test against Arsenal.
While he has shown commendable restraint thus far, this upcoming match poses his toughest challenge yet. Bruno must balance playing cautiously or risk missing the following two games due to suspension.
