Florian Thauvin will be who the Geordie nation will want to see this Saturday against Arsenal. The new-signing made a brilliant home debut against Northampton mid-week where he scored and grabbed three assists. His attacking play showed the new lad's quality and he demonstrated excellent dribbling, passing, crossing and set-piece attributes as well as handling himself well physically. Up against Nacho Monreal, Thauvin will look to maintain his strong relationship with Daryl Janmaat on the right-hand-side and frequently cut inside the Arsenal full-back.
