LINE-UP CONFIRMED:Arsenal expected XI vs Newcastle as Nwaneri and Havertz start

Arsenal will have plenty of confidence from their big win against Manchester City, which will have allowed them to dream of a perfect comeback against Newcastle United in the second leg of their League Cup semi-final. Two goals down from the match at the Emirates Stadium, the Gunners have a monumental task to turn things around.

Mikel Arteta will be hoping that the momentum from the weekend victory will count for more than the extra day's rest that the Magpies have got going into the game. From a Newcastle perspective, Joelinton is a doubt for the game while the Gunners have no new fitness concerns according to the Spaniard.

There are however a couple of conundrums in the squad that Arteta could go one of two ways, particularly at left-back and on the right wing. With that in mind, here is the football.london predicted line-up for the clash with Newcastle.

Arsenal predicted lineup vs Newcastle (4-2-3-1): Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly; Partey, Rice, Odegaard; Nwaneri, Havertz, Trossard.
