Arsenal have named a starting line-up with a few surprises against Newcastle, the most notable seeing Eddie Nketiah start in attack.
Further back, Dani Ceballos comes in alongside Granit Xhaka at the base of the midfield, while Bukayo Saka starts at left-back.
For Steve Bruce, he has chosen new boys Valentino Lazaro and Danny Rose in the full-back positions as his side look for their first win at the Emirates for a decade, when Andy Carroll netted the only goal of the game.
Both sides drew 0-0 in their most recent fixtures, the Gunners at Burnley and Newcastle at home to Norwich.
Arsenal: Leno; Bellerín, Luiz, Mustafi, Saka; Xhaka, Ceballos; Pépé, Özil, Aubameyang, Nketiah.
Newcastle: Dúbravka; Lazaro, Fernández, Lascelles, Clark, Rose; Almirón, Longstaff, Bentaleb, Saint-Maximin; Joeltinon.
