On Wednesday, Newcastle United will play Arsenal in the second leg of their semifinal Carabao Cup match.
Eddie Howe’s squad took control of the match last month with a commanding 2-0 victory at Emirates Stadium. They are aware that a victory of two goals or more will advance them to the competition’s final for the second time in three seasons.
However, after defeating Premier League winners Manchester City 5-1 on Sunday, the Gunners are feeling upbeat. Mikel Arteta and his team will feel more optimistic about overcoming the aggregate deficit than they did a few weeks ago because Newcastle has lost their last two league games at home.
The most recent team news and verified lineups for this match are examined by Sporting News.
Newcastle vs. Arsenal lineups, starting 11, team news
Joelinton was Newcastle’s main injury concern because the Brazilian was replaced during the Fulham defeat due to a knee problem. Eddie Howe moves to a 3-4-3 lineup here, thus he is missed. Joe Willock leaves, while Kieran Trippier enters.
With Miguel Almiron returning to Major League Soccer during the transfer window and winger Harvey Barnes still not fully recovered from a thigh injury, the Magpies appear to have few choices.
After going back to training at the end of last week, Callum Wilson is back and healthy enough to sit on the bench. After missing the first leg due to suspension, Bruno Guimaraes and Fabian Schar are back to play and both start.
Dubravka (GK) — Botman, Schar, Burn — Trippier, Guimaraes, Tonali, Hall — Murphy, Isak, Gordon is Newcastle United’s starting lineup (3-4-3, right to left).
Barnes (thigh), Lascelles (knee), and Joelinton (knee) were hurt.
Not suspended.
With Leandro Trossard keeping his starting position ahead of the outstanding young Ethan Nwaneri, Arsenal was not expected to make many changes from their crushing of Man City, and they did not.
Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu are not anticipated to return until later this month, and Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus are still out. After playing for Bournemouth in this tournament early in the season, goalie Neto is tied for the cup.
Raya (GK) — Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly — Odegaard, Partey, Rice — Martinelli, Havertz, Trossard is the starting lineup for Arsenal (4-3-3, right to left).
Tomiyasu (knee), Jesus (knee), White (knee), and Saka (hamstring) were all injured.
Neto is suspended or ineligible (cup-tied).
