Follow our live blog below... The Gunners demolished Man City at the Emirates on Sunday so it's no surprise to see them name the same team for another massive game tonight. Two changes for Newcastle with Joelinton and Tino Livramento out and Kieran Trippier and Sven Botman back in. That means a reshuffle in the Xi with Dan Burn moving from centre-back to left-back and Lewis Hall moving into midfield. Livramento has been named on the bench but Joelinton isn't even fit enough fit enough to be a sub after he came off in the defeat to Fulham at the weekend.
