🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Arsenal and Newcastle name XI's for EFL Cup semi-final clash | OneFootball

Premier League title hopefuls Arsenal welcome northern opposition to the capital tonight as Mikel Arteta's Gunners play host to Eddie Howe's Newcastle United.

An in-form Magpies outfit will no doubt be fancying their chances at the Emirates against an Arsenal side stripped of star man Bukayo Saka as well as a number of injury issues across the first team.

Having drawn first blood against the Gunners this season in their Premier League meeting back in November, can Howe's troops silence the guns in north London, or will Arteta's men dig deep to find the result in front of home support?

Here is how both sides will be deployed on the pitch.

Arsenal: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly, Partey, Rice, Odegaard, Martinelli, Trossard, Havertz.

Newcastle: Dubvravka; Livramento, Botman, Burn, Hall; Tonali, Joelinton, Willock; Murphy, Isak, Gordon.
