Team news: Gabriel fit to face Newcastle

Mikel Arteta has been handed a boost with Gabriel being passed fit to start today’s Premier League clash at Newcastle United.

The boss has made a single change to the side that faced Liverpool last Sunday in our last league encounter, with William Saliba returning to the heart of defence alongside Big Gabi after missing the game against the Reds through suspension.

That sees Ben White drop to the bench, with the defender also deemed able to play after picking up a joint issue in midweek that forced him to miss Wednesday’s 3-0 Carabao Cup win at Preston North End.
