SPORTS UPDATE WITH EMMAH ATAI: Mathieu Debuchy is likely to start out of position at centre-back in his first Premier League game for three months against Newcastle United on Saturday amid a renewed Arsenal defensive crisis. Despite being rested from the midweek Champions League tie against Galatasaray, Laurent Koscielny is still almost certainly out with a calf injury and Nacho Monreal is definitely unavailable due to a foot injury. With Calum Chambers suspended after his red card against Stoke City, it all leaves Per Mertesacker as the only remaining senior centre-back. Kieran Gibbs is again available at left-back and, should Debuchy play at centre-back, 19-year-old Hector Bellerin would come back into the team at right-back.

It means the underperforming Reds could face a host of top sides including Inter Milan, Fiorentina and Zenit St Petersburg.
