Newcastle winger Kenedy can get back to his best against Arsenal.

Newcastle United’s trickster Kenedy has endured a difficult start to the new season, but can get back on track in the next match against Arsenal.

The 22-year-old attacker re-joined the Magpies on loan from Chelsea in the summer and is a big favourite at St James’ Park after his successful stint at the club last season.

But he’s been unable to recapture that same form and is still without a goal or assist in his first four appearances in this campaign.

The Brazilian left-winger has not been providing the same creative threat out wide and he even missed a last-minute penalty in a goalless draw away to Cardiff City.

Newcastle host Arsenal at the weekend when Premier League football returns and struggling ace Kenedy could turn out to be a major threat.

Rafael Benitez’s side are likely to concede a lot of chances against an Arsenal team that are extremely dangerous in attack, but on the flip side they are certainly vulnerable at the back.

The Gunners have conceded eight goals in their opening four league fixtures, which included two against Cardiff.

Arsenal’s defence is certainly a weakness in their side, with right-back Hector Bellerin arguably the player that is struggling the most.

Kenedy should be licking his lips at the prospect of lining up against him and can cause him real danger in the final third when in one-on-one positions.

Bellerin, 23, appears to have a lot of confidence in recent years since he first burst on the scene and is likely to give Kenedy a chance to play his way back into form.
