Confirmed teams: Arsenal vs Newcastle: Koscielny & Xhaka ruled out, Auba on the bench
Arsenal can move up to third place in the Premier League table with a win over Newcastle United at the Emirates tonight.
Unai Emery is without Laurent Koscielny as the defender is carrying a bruised foot so Shkodran Mustafi starts alongside Sokratis and Nacho Monreal in defence.
Granit Xhaka is ruled out with a groin problem so Matteo Guendouzi joins Aaron Ramsey in midfield with Lucas Torreira suspended. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is only fit for a place on the bench due to a temperature.
These are the teams:
Arsenal
Leno, Maitland-Niles, Sokratis, Mustafi, Monreal, Kolasinac, Guendouzi, Ramsey, Iwobi, Ozil, Lacazette
Subs: Cech, Elneny, Mkhitaryan, Aubameyang, Suarez, Jenkinson, Nketiah
Newcastle
Dubravka, Yedlin, Lejeune, Lascelles, Dummett, Ritchie, Hayden, Diame, Perez, Almiron, Rondon
Subs: Darlow, Ki, Shelvey, Muto, Kenedy, Fernandez, Manquillo
