'Nice April Fools' - Arsenal fans can't believe what Emery has done ahead of Newcastle clash

Arsenal manager Unai Emery has revealed his starting line-up for Monday's clash at home to Newcastle United and fans are all saying the same thing.

The Gunners are hoping to move third in the Premier League table as they host Newcastle at the Emirates.

Tottenham Hotspur’s dramatic 2-1 defeat at Liverpool on Sunday has opened up a chance for Arsenal to move into third.

A draw would take Arsenal above Spurs and into third on goals scored but the Gunners will be wanting more in the capital.

If the reaction to Arsenal’s team news ahead of facing Newcastle is anything to go by, supporters are not exactly confident due to one key decision.

Shkodran Mustafi's inclusion in the starting line-up is the big talking point and it's fair to say the reaction is negative. On the back of a horrific error in the clash in Dubai against Al Nasr recently, the defender is a little bit of a laughing stock as the reaction below highlights.
