Arsenal make five changes to their starting XI after the 1-1 draw at Brighton. Martin Ødegaard, Jurriën Timber, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Gabriel Martinelli and Kai Havertz all return; Riccardo Calafiori, Jorginho, Mikel Merino and Gabriel Jesus drop to the bench, while Ethan Nwaneri is injured.
Newcastle also name a strong team, making just one change to the side that started the 2-1 win at Spurs, an enforced one at that. Joe Willock replaces the suspended captain Bruno Guimarães.
