Arsenal face a huge Premier League clash against Newcastle this weekend with the result likely to prove critical in their title bid against Manchester City. Pep Guardiola's men securing a victory against Leeds on Saturday afternoon has placed Arsenal four points off the top and therefore a win on Tyneside is an absolute must.
The Gunners ended their four-game winless run earlier this week by beating London rivals Chelsea 3-1 and another three points would keep the title race alive. To do that, Mikel Arteta's men must win at St James Park when the pressure is firmly on, something they failed to do last season, which saw them miss out on a Champions League qualification spot.
Eddie Howe's side are in fine form with just one defeat in their last nine matches as they push for a spot in the top four. The Gunners have struggled defensively without William Saliba and with the Magpies having scored 13 goals in their last three games, it could be a difficult afternoon for Arsenal.
