PREMIER - Arsenal-Newcastle: the official line-ups
A week after being swept away by Liverpool (4-0), Arsenal, fifth, receives the Newcastle red lantern at the Emirates Stadium as part of the 13th day of the Premier League. Mikel Arteta, still deprived of Granit Xhaka and Sead Kolasinac, lines up a 4-2-3-1 with a Nuno Tavares still preferred to Kieran Tierney. The French Alexandre Lacazette is replaced by Martin Ødegaard.
A week after having tested positive for Covid-19 and having missed his debut with his new club, Eddie Howe will have his big debut today. The new coach of the Magpies aligns in particular Martin Dubravka, who will therefore live his first tenure of the season. The other two changes from 3-3 against Brentford relate to the starts of Ryan Fraser and Emil Krafth.
Team compositions:
Arsenal: Ramsdale - Tomiyasu, White, Gabriel, Tavares - Party, Lokonga - Saka, Odegaard, Smith Rowe - Aubameyang.
Newcastle: Dubravka - Krafth, Schär, Lascelles - Fraser, Shelvey, Willock, Ritchie - Joelinton, Wilson, Saint-Maximin.
