This is the line-up for Newcastle vs Arsenal

– Gabriel Magalhaes has been declared fit to start for Arsenal in their English Premier League match against Newcastle United at St James Park, tonight.

The Brazilian centre-back was substituted through injury in the dying minutes of the 3-1 win over Chelsea. But there is optimism that he avoided serious trouble.

Having been given the green light to start, Gabriel stepped into his place at the back alongside Jakub Kiwior, who made his second successive Premier League appearance in place of Rob Holding.’

Mikel Arteta made only one change to the team from the win against Chelsea in this match, when Gabriel Martinelli came on for Leandro Trossard. Midfielder Jorginho was again chosen to replace Thomas Partey in midfield.

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe also made just one change from last weekend’s 3-1 win over Southampton. He included Callum Wilson in the starting line-up to replace Anthony Gordon.

Wilson started alongside Alexander Isak in the final third, while Joe Willock started against his former club.

Allan Saint-Maximin was among the substitutes after recovering from a thigh injury. However Sean Longstaff is still ruled out for the hosts with an ankle problem.
