Arsenal vs Newcastle LIVE!. Arsenal take on Newcastle in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final tie at the Emirates Stadium tonight. The Gunners have been beset by injury and illness as they look to quickly bounce back from Saturday’s frustrating draw at Brighton that saw them drop more points in the Premier League title race and halted a run of four consecutive wins across all competitions that included a Gabriel Jesus-inspired comeback win over Crystal Palace in the quarters.
Mikel Arteta has seen Ethan Nwaneri added to his lengthy absentee list, but will hope that Kai Havertz is ready to return for what is likely to be a significant test against one of the country’s most in-form teams in Newcastle. Eddie Howe’s side have turned an otherwise disappointing season around with six successive wins, reaching the last four of the Carabao Cup and catapulting themselves right into the Champions League qualification mix with Arsenal transfer target Alexander Isak scoring for fun.
However, the visitors are without a number of key players of their own in north London this evening, including suspended duo Fabian Schar and Bruno Guimaraes. Follow Arsenal vs Newcastle live below, with expert analysis from Simon Collings at the Emirates.
In-form Newcastle are certainly not without their own selection issues tonight. Fabian Schar remains suspended and so too now is Bruno Guimaraes following his booking in the 3-1 win over Brentford in the quarter-finals. Nick Pope, Callum Wilson, Jamaal Lascelles and Emil Krafth are all still out injured, though Sven Botman’s late withdrawal on his return following nine months out with an ACL injury at Tottenham was put down to cramp.
