[Teams] Newcastle vs Arsenal: Confirmed Line-Ups From St James’ Park

Arsenal will look to make it three wins in a row when we take on Newcastle United at St James’ Park this afternoon. 

Gunners boss Unai Emery has named the same side that beat Cardiff City before the international break with Petr Cech retaining his place in goal meaning Bernd Leno is once again named on the bench.

Granit Xhaka and Matteo Guendouzi keep their places in the middle of the park so summer signing Lucas Torreira must wait to make his full debut despite impressing off the bench this season.

Aaron Ramsey plays in the advanced midfield role with Mesut Ozil preferred ahead of Henrikh Mkhitaryan in attack. Alexandre Lacazette keeps his place up front after scoring the winner at Cardiff with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang out on the wing.

Here are the confirmed teams:

Newcastle

Dubravka, Yedlin, Lascelles, Fernández, Dummett, Ritchie, Hayden, Diame, Murphy, Perez, Joselu.

Subs: Darlow, Shelvey, Kenedy, Clark, Muto, Rondon, Manquillo.

Arsenal

Cech, Bellerin, Sokratis, Mustafi, Monreal, Xhaka, Guendouzi, Aubameyang, Ramsey, Ozil, Lacazette.

Subs: Leno, Lichtsteiner, Holding, Elneny, Torreira, Mkhitaryan, Welbeck.
