Arsenal and Newcastle name XIs for Carabao Cup second leg | OneFootball

Arsenal and Newcastle have named their sides as they fight for a spot in the final of the Carabao Cup at St James' Park this evening.

Eddie Howe's side hold a 2-0 advantage from the first leg but are without Joelinton through injury.

As a result, the Magpies have moved into a back five, with Sven Botman replacing the Brazilian, while Tino Livramento drops out for Kieran Trippier.

However, both Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon, who scored in the first leg, are named in the starting XI.

Meanwhile, Mikel Arteta has opted for an unchanged side to the one that thrashed Manchester City, meaning that Ethan Nwaneri again remains a substitute but age-mate Myles Lewis-Skelly starts at full back.

Can the Gunners turn it around?
