Newcastle United top scorer Callum Wilson was back in the starting line-up to face Arsenal this afternoon at St James' Park.
The former AFC Bournemouth star took the place of Joelinton as Steve Bruce was able to reunite Miguel Almiron and Allan Saint-Maximin in his front three.
Bruce also stuck with Jonjo Shelvey as skipper in his side and played him alongside Sean Longstaff.
Longstaff was making his 50th Premier League appearance for the Magpies.
Bruce toyed with the idea of playing Fabian Schar today but opted to leave him on the bench after a Under-23 run out against Crystal Palace in Premier League 2 last week.
The other notable inclusion on the bench was Matty Longstaff who gets his chance in the squad after Joe Willock was ineligible.
Newcastle : Martin Dúbravka; Jacob Murphy, Federico Fernández, Ciaran Clark, Paul Dummett, Matt Ritchie; Jonjo Shelvey, Sean Longstaff; Miguel Almirón, Callum Wilson, Allan Saint-Maximin.
Subs: Mark Gillespie, Emil Krafth, Fabian Schär, Jamal Lewis, Matty Longstaff, Jeff Hendrick, Elliot Anderson, Joelinton, Dwight Gayle.
