Arsenal drew 1-1 with Brighton, extending their unbeaten run but losing ground to Manchester City in the title race. They face a tough challenge in the Carabao Cup semi-final against in-form Newcastle, who are seeking their first trophy since 1955. Arsenal are dealing with injuries to Ethan Nwaneri, Bukayo Saka, and Raheem Sterling, while Newcastle have suspensions for Fabian Schär and Bruno Guimarães.
Arsenal had to share the spoils with Brighton at the Amex last weekend. Ethan Nwaneri opened the scoring for the visitors but João Pedro equalised from the spot after the Brazilian was adjudged to have been fouled by William Saliba. The 1-1 draw extended Arsenal ’s unbeaten run to 13 matches, but Mikel Arteta will be disappointed to have dropped two more points. They remain six behind
Nwaneri was forced off at the break against Brighton and he is potentially out for a number of weeks. With Bukayo Saka and Raheem Sterling both absent, Gabriel Martinelli may deputise on the right flank, with Leandro Trossard starting from the left. Gabriel Jesus is expected to keep his place despite Kai Havertz’s expected availability after the German missed the meetings with Brentford and Brighton due to illness.
Emil Krafth, Callum Wilson, Jamaal Lascelles and Nick Pope are out, with Martin Dubravka expected to deputise in goal once more. Howe will be hoping Anthony Gordon and striker Alexander Isak, who has scored in his last seven league games, will maintain their rich vein of form to fire the visitors to a first-leg advantage on Tuesday night.
Rodrigo Bentancur returns in midfield after missing the Newcastle match with a ban, which is a boost as Pape Sarr and James Maddison are both suspended for the first leg. Radu Dragusin is a doubt having been taken off at the break at the weekend and, with Ben Davies, Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero all absent, Djed Spence may partner Archie Gray at the heart of the Spurs defence, with Sergio Reguilón featuring from the outset in a makeshift backline.
