GK: Wojciech Szczesny
Back in action again this week as he returned from injury against Galatasaray, Wojciech Szczesny should start in goal for Arsenal against Newcastle.
DR: Hector Bellerin
Despite playing at left-back to good effect against Galatasaray in midweek, Hector Bellerin should return to the right-hand side as usual for this game.
DL: Kieran Gibbs
Expected to play again after missing the Champions League tie in midweek, Kieran Gibbs should take his usual place at left-back for the Gunners.
DC: Per Mertesacker
Arsenal’s only fit recognised centre-back at the moment, Per Mertesacker has to start for the team in this match despite a poor showing against Stoke last weekend.
DC: Mathieu Debuchy
In an unfamiliar role, it is expected that the returning Mathieu Debuchy could play in the centre instead of his usual right-back slot.
MC: Mathieu Flamini
With Mikel Arteta out injured, Mathieu Flamini is the main candidate to play the defensive midfield role for Arsenal in this tricky game against Newcastle.
MC: Santi Cazorla
With Aaron Ramsey joining Jack Wilshere on the treatment table, Santi Cazorla could drop a little deeper to partner Flamini in midfield, with few other options available.
AMR: Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
Starting on the right-hand side, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain seems a good contender to start this match after enjoying a decent run this season.
AML: Lukas Podolski
With two well-taken goals in the 4-1 win at Galatasaray, Lukas Podolski surely deserves a start in this game, filling in in one of the more advanced roles as Cazorla drops back.
AMC: Alexis Sanchez
In a free role behind the main striker, Alexis Sanchez could play more centrally against Newcastle after being rested for the midweek Champions League game.
FC: Danny Welbeck
With Olivier Giroud perhaps rested after recently returning from injury, Danny Welbeck should perhaps start the game after only making the bench against Stoke last week.
