Arsenal

Kai Havertz is back in training for Arsenal, but is unlikely to be risked from the outset this weekend.
Declan Rice and Leandro Trossard should be fit to start, which is a boost with Mikel Merino suspended.
Gabriel Magalhaes, Gabriel Jesus and Takehiro Tomiyasu all miss out due to injury.
Newcastle United

Sven Botman was withdrawn early in the second half against Chelsea due to a knee complaint but it's not thought to be serious, and he should be fine to start.
Eddie Howe may, therefore, continue with a three-man backline after last week's 2-0 win over Chelsea.
Kieran Trippier, Joe Willock, Joelinton, Matt Targett and Lewis Hall all miss out.
