An Arsenal predicted line up for Saturday’s early kickoff against Newcastle United, with Arsene Wenger making changes up front…

GK: Petr Cech

Impressive against Liverpool on Monday, Petr Cech will certainly keep the number one spot for the trip to St James’ Park.

DR: Hector Bellerin

First choice at right-back, Hector Bellerin will surely start ahead of Mathieu Debuchy as they face the Magpies.

DL: Kieran Gibbs

No longer a regular for Arsenal, but there could be room for some rotation in this match as Kieran Gibbs comes back in at left-back.

DC: Gabriel

With doubts still remaining over Per Mertesacker and Laurent Koscielny’s fitness, Gabriel should start again against Newcastle, having impressed against Liverpool.

DC: Nacho Monreal

Moving into the centre, Nacho Monreal could be a better option than Calum Chambers after a difficult game against the Reds this week.

MC: Francis Coquelin

First choice in defensive midfield, Francis Coquelin takes his usual role for the Gunners and will need to keep Florian Thauvin quiet.

MC: Santi Cazorla

Arsenal’s main playmaker, Santi Cazorla should start as usual alongside Coquelin as he looks to dictate the play for Arsene Wenger’s men.

AMR: Alexis Sanchez

A player yet to hit top form this season, Alexis Sanchez may still be a little tired from this summer’s Copa America, but is surely going to start again here.

AML: Mesut Ozil

Moving out to the left, Mesut Ozil can still have an influential role for Arsenal in this wider position.

AMC: Aaron Ramsey

Played in a variety of roles this season, Aaron Ramsey has also looked slightly ineffective but could do better just behind the main striker.

FC: Theo Walcott

Unlucky not to start yet this season, Theo Walcott should surely get a game for Arsenal here after another poor performance from Olivier Giroud up front.
