Lineups for Arsenal vs. Newcastle United, confirmed starting 11; team updates; injuries: Nwaneri, Guimaraes out of Carabao Cup semifinal first leg

Sharing is caring!

The first leg of the Carabao Cup semifinals between Arsenal and Newcastle United is scheduled for Tuesday.

Eddie Howe’s squad is coming off a winning streak to Emirates Stadium.

The Magpies have won six straight games across all competitions, including back-to-back Premier League wins against Manchester United and Tottenham, as well as a 3-1 victory over Brentford in the competition’s quarterfinals.

In their most recent game, Brighton & Hove Albion held Arsenal, who had won the previous round against Crystal Palace, to a 1-1 draw.

The home team’s penalty in the match frustrated Mikel Arteta and his team, since it ended their chances of overtaking Liverpool in the fight for the championship.

However, Arsenal is still a little favorite to win the first leg because they haven’t lost since losing to Newcastle and Inter Milan back-to-back in early November.

The manager may choose to field the best team possible now that we’ve advanced to the semifinals, even though Arteta has made some changes to his squad in past rounds. But he does have some absentees to contend with.

Ethan Nwaneri, a teenager, is expected to miss Arsenal’s match against Brighton due to a muscular issue.

Raheem Sterling is just on the bench, which Arteta anticipated would allow him to make up for his absence.

Jurrien Timber returns after missing the Brighton match due to suspension, and Kai Havertz is anticipated to make a comeback from illness.

Takehiro Tomiyasu, Ben White, and Bukayo Saka had been missing for a long time.

Due to suspensions following their second yellow card of the season in the previous round, Bruno Guimaraes and Fabian Schar will be absent for Newcastle’s first leg in north London. In February, they want to return for the second leg.

After a long injury layoff, Sven Botman’s discomfort during the 2-1 victory over Spurs was ascribed to a cramp. He has recovered sufficiently to play again and is back in the starting lineup.

Callum Wilson and Jamaal Lascelles won’t be back until February, and Nick Pope and Emil Krafth won’t be back until later this month.
