Fixture: Newcastle United vs Arsenal
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 15:00 (UK time)

Arsenal have revealed their team and substitutes to go up against Rafael Benitez's Newcastle United side at St. James' Park this afternoon.

The Gunners have six points from their opening four league games and boss Unai Emery will be desperate not to drop points in the north east.




Emery will be aware that Newcastle won the last meeting between the two sides at St. James' Park, while his defence shipped two goals in a 3-2 win at Cardiff City before the international break.

Petr Cech starts between the sticks, while in defence Emery goes with Shkodran Mustafi and Sokratis as the central pairing. Granit Xhaka and Matteo Guendouzi link up in midfield, while Aaron Ramsey and Mesut Ozil play. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette both start.

The Arsenal manager can look to his bench if needed at any point in the game, with options to change things up including Danny Welbeck and Lucas Torreira.
