Arsenal vs Newcastle United: Confirmed Line-Ups from Emirates Stadium

Arsenal aims to close the gap on the Premier League's top two with a win over Newcastle United at the Emirates.

Arsenal is set to face off against Newcastle United at the Emirates Stadium tonight in a crucial match that could help them close the gap on the top two teams in the Premier League table. The Gunners are currently five points behind the league leaders, Liverpool, and they will need a victory against Newcastle to narrow that margin.

Mikel Arteta has been facing challenges with a long list of injuries, making it difficult for him to rotate his squad. Despite this, he has only been able to make one change from their recent Champions League match against Porto. Goalkeeper David Raya retains his spot, and the defensive lineup remains unchanged with Ben White at right-back and William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes forming a solid partnership at the back. Oleksandr Zinchenko and Takehiro Tomiyasu are still sidelined, so Jacub Kiwior continues at left-back.

In the midfield, Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard lead the way, with Jorginho returning to start alongside them. Up front, Leandro Trossard is benched, and Kai Havertz moves into the striker position, while Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli continue to provide attacking options.

On the other side, Newcastle will have Loris Karius in goal due to Martin Dubravka's illness, and Alexander Isak is set to lead the attack after returning to fitness.

The confirmed line-ups for the match are as follows:

Arsenal:
Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Kiwior; Rice, Jorginho; Saka, Odegaard, Havertz, Martinelli

Subs: Ramsdale, Cedric, Elneny, Vieira, Smith Rowe, Nelson, Trossard, Jesus, Nketiah.

Newcastle:
Karius; Trippier, Schar, Botman, Livramento; Longstaff, Bruno Guimaraes, Miley; Almiron, Isak, Gordon.

Subs: Gillespie, Lascalles, Ritchie, Barnes, Krafth, Hall, Murphy, Willock, Burn

The match promises to be an intense and exciting encounter, with both teams looking to secure a crucial win in their pursuit of success in the Premier League.
