Start of match

Start of match

  • PRVW
    Arsenal have an unchanged lineup from the win against Cardiff, and we are only 10 minutes from kickoff!
  • PRVW
    Rafa makes some changes, a few enforced. Salomon Rondon was in Venezuela midweek with his national side and won't start. Kenedy is also dropped for Jacob Murphy.
  • PRVW
    And here is the Arsenal team:
  • PRVW
    Newcastle XI: Dubravka; Yedlin, Lascelles, Fernandez, Dummett; Hayden, Diame; Ritchie, Perez, Murphy; Joselu
  • PRVW
    Rafa Benitez's side are yet to win a game this season, but they're back in front of their home crowd hoping to take advantage of Arsenal's shaky defence.
