Arsenal vs. Newcastle United: Lineups - SB Nation

Arsenal have named Lukas Podolski up front as they look to get a win over Newcastle United and secure Champions League qualification.

Podolski starts up front with Theo Walcott, Tomas Rosicky and Santiago Cazorla behind, with Jack Wilshere dropped to the bench for the game. Kieran Gibbs also starts at left-back in place of Nacho Monreal.

Newcastle, meanwhile, name Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa at left-back, with Papiss Cisse and Yoann Gouffran both starting up front. Veteran keeper Steve Harper, who plays his last game in a Newcastle shirt, will captain the side instead of Fabricio Coloccini as a farewell gesture.

Arsenal starting line-up (4-2-3-1): Wojciech Szczesny; Bacary Sagna, Per Mertesacker, Laurent Koscielny, Kieran Gibbs; Aaron Ramsey, Mikel Arteta; Theo Walcott, Tomas Rosicky, Santiago Cazorla; Lukas Podolski.
