Former Blackburn Rovers striker Chris Sutton expects Newcastle United’s 14-game unbeaten run to end at the Emirates Stadium tomorrow night. Liverpool - albeit controversially - remain the only side Eddie Howe has tasted defeat to this season.
A crushing 98th-minute winner at Anfield in August sealed a result which, to this day, is the last time Newcastle were left empty-handed. However, that impressive run of form faces its stiffest test yet in North London.
Arsenal have stormed to the top of the Premier League, boasting a seven-point cushion over second-placed Manchester City. The Magpies are also winless at the Gunners since November 2010, when Andy Carroll’s header separated the two sides.
