Arsenal face a tough test against Newcastle United in the Premier League tonight, but victory for the Gunners will send them 10 points clear at the top of the league.
Arsenal have returned from the World Cup break exactly where they left off, with Mikel Arteta's side extending their lead at the top of the Premier League table to seven points following the last round of fixtures. Goals from Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Martinelli handed Arsenal a 4-2 win away to Brighton, whilst fellow title contenders Man City were held to a shock 1-1 draw against Everton.
Tonight's clash will be one of Arsenal's toughest of the season, with Newcastle currently third in the table having conceded just 11 goals all season, giving them the best defensive record in the league. Arsenal have lost just once in their last eight games against the Magpies, though that defeat was the most recent meeting between the two sides where Eddie Howe's side beat the Gunners 2-0 last May.
