The Gunners' unbeaten run to the season ended at the weekend controversially, as Mikel Arteta's side were beaten by a goal that saw three VAR checks away at Newcastle United. The Basque boss opted for Kai Havertz starting in Martin Odegaard's absence, with Declan Rice and Jorginho completing the midfield.
