Mikel Arteta has been told by Graeme Souness that Arsenal are set for a "real title test" this weekend when they face Newcastle United in Premier League action. The Gunners got back to winning ways on Tuesday evening against Chelsea and another victory is vital to ensuring the Premier League title race with Manchester City remains alive.
Last season Arsenal struggled to cope with the atmosphere at St James Park which saw then lose 2-0, but Arteta is expecting this campaign's clash to not be very similar to the last time his team visited Tyneside.
"It's a very different game," Arteta said in his pre-match press conference. "Different players, different game. We're gonna have to play better than last year that's for sure because we know at home they've been really good.
