1. GK: Martin Dubravka
The Slovakian’s return to the Newcastle side was a welcome one against Arsenal and he responded to the calls for his inclusion by putting in a great performance at The Emirates. Photo: Shaun Botterill
2. RB: Emil Krafth
Whilst few would have predicted Krafth’s inclusion in the team that faced Arsenal, it’s his versatility and ability to play as both a centre-back in a back-five and a right-back in a back-four that gives Newcastle great freedom to chop and change system mid-game. Photo: Richard Heathcote
3. CB: Fabian Schar
After a long absence, Schar has now started back-to-back games under Howe and his ability on the ball is a great asset to this side. Photo: George Wood
4. CB: Ciaran Clark
With Jamaal Lascelles suspended and Federico Fernandez still absent from the first-team picture, Clark seems like the natural option to fill in at centre-back. Photo: Stu Forster
