Arsenal Form

Arsenal are unbeaten in five matches in all competitions ahead of this meeting with a really out of form Newcastle.

The Gunners won three on the bounce in the Premier League after beating Chelsea, Brighton and West Brom in successive matches. Arsenal then beat Newcastle in the FA Cup, winning 2-0 after being taken to extra time.

Last time out, Arsenal were held to a 0-0 draw at home to Crystal Palace. It was their poorest performance since Christmas, though they were boosted by the return of midfielder Thomas Partey, who played just over 20 minutes as a substitute.

Arsenal Team News

Arsenal could welcome Thomas Partey back to the starting XI after his cameo appearance on Thursday. The Gunners will hope to have Kieran Tierney back after the full-back missed the Crystal Palace draw due to a muscle injury.

Newcastle Form

The pressure will really be on Steve Bruce coming into this contest following a difficult run of form. They have lost six of their last eight matches, drawing the other two.

Losing to Brentford in the League Cup quarter-finals, they then lost to Manchester City and drew 0-0 with Liverpool in the Premier League. Since then, they have lost three in a row, starting with defeats to Leicester in the league and Arsenal in the FA Cup.

Newcastle then lost 1-0 to Sheffield United on Tuesday night, becoming the first team to lose to the Blades in the Premier League this season.

Newcastle Team News

Newcastle are missing the suspended Ryan Fraser following his red card against Sheffield United. Paul Dummett, Jamaal Lascelles, Jamal Lewis, Jonjo Shelvey and Allan Saint-Maximin are doubtful.

Head to Head

Arsenal have 80 wins in this fixture to Newcastle’s 67. They have also played out 38 draws.

Arsenal won the most recent meeting just over a week ago, beating Newcastle 2-0 in the FA Cup with the aid of extra time.
