Eddie Howe’s side have not won in five league games and slumped to a disappointing 2-1 defeat against Chelsea despite impressing at Stamford Bridge last time out. The Magpies went on the defeat the Blues in a repeat league cup fixture on Wednesday and such an immediate response will hopefully kick start their season believes Howe.
For Arsenal, they took two points off Liverpool in a 2-2 last weekend in what was a crucial result for their title chances. Five points behind leaders Man City they cannot afford to slip up further and will need to secure all three away at St. James’ Park today. Mikel Arteta has a few injuries to navigate but his youngsters got a run out in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday and defeated Preston 3-0 proving they are ready to fill in if required.

Newcastle are happy to give up some space in front of the box to Arsenal at the moment. Arsenal have all the possession but there’s not a great deal of movement ahead of White, Saliba and co.
The Gunners do almost fashion a chance as they put together a few passes on the edge of the box, but White put a little too much onto the through ball.

Good tracking back from Gabriel to dispossess Gordon, and Arsenal have it once more. Newcastle are struggling to get out of their own half.
The Gunners are trying to inject a bit of pace into their attacking play but Livramento manages to block the cross from Jesus.
Arsenal come again though, before Livramento blocks another cross, this time from Zinchenko.

Zinchenko fizzes a diagonal pass to Saka but there’s far too much on it, and it goes out of play. They get a bit of luck though, as Guimaraes concedes a foul. Rice will swing in another set-piece.
it’s a very high line from the home side – and it’s another poor delivery from Rice, with Hall clearing this one at first man.
