Arsenal Team News
Takehiro Tomiyasu recovered from his latest hamstring injury to come in as a second-half replacement at the Amex, leaving Arsenal with just two guaranteed absentees in Gabriel Jesus and Reiss Nelson.
Emile Smith Rowe has participated in a few training sessions as he nears a return from groin surgery, but he will only make the bench if he is deemed fit, with Arteta set to stick with his tried-and-tested starting XI despite the tight turnaround.
Nketiah continues to fill Jesus’ shoes well and might score his 12th goal in his last 12 starts at the Emirates, despite only having 16 shots on goal during that startling streak.
Newcastle United Team News
Alexander Isak, Jonjo Shelvey, Matt Targett, Emil Krafth, and Paul Dummett are all out due to injury.
The visiting manager may be tempted to make a couple of changes, having given Chris Wood the nod from the start against Leeds, but Callum Wilson replaced the ex-Burnley player shortly after the hour mark and will anticipate a recall.
Former Arsenal man Joe Willock will be hoping for a warm welcome back to the Emirates, but he could also be sacrificed for the return of Allan Saint-Maximin, who gave Tomiyasu difficulties in the Gunners’ triumph in May.
Possible Lineups
Arsenal Predicted XI:
Ramsdale; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Xhaka, Partey; Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli; Nketiah
Newcastle United Predicted XI:
Pope; Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn; Longstaff, Guimaraes, Joelinton; Almiron, Wilson, Saint-Maximin
