Newcastle defender Dan Burn says Arsenal could get a major boost if Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland is out for their Premier League clash on Wednesday.

Haaland picked up a knock against Aston Villa, and Burn insisted that it would be a "psychological" boost for the Gunners.

Burn told PLP: "It is like playing against Tottenham and Harry Kane is not playing.

"Obviously psychologically, it is a big plus for you, he's got what 31 goals this season? So if you are playing against a City side team that is missing Haaland then you are happy."

Former Liverpool striker Michael Owen added: "You ask Arsenal if you could pick one Manchester City player to not play, you would pick Haaland wouldn't you?

"That man is different, he is world club, he is elite in his position."
