The confirmed Newcastle team v Arsenal has now been announced.

Newcastle United looking to make it eleven wins in thirteen games (all competitions).

More importantly though, reach Wembley.

That requires tonight a win, draw or defeat by a single goal, to ensure getting to the final.

Newcastle team v Arsenal:

Dubravka, Trippier, Schar, Burn, Botman, Hall, Tonali, Bruno, Murphy, Isak, Gordon

Two changes.

IN:

Trippier, Botman

OUT:

Livramento, Joelinton

Subs:

Pope, Wilson, Targett, Krafth, Osula, Livarmento, Longstaff, Lewis Miley, Willock

So Livramento drops to the bench, whilst Joelinton misses through injury. Great to see Callum Wilson back at last.
