Newcastle vs Arsenal LIVE!
Arsenal travel to Newcastle in the eye-catching of this weekend’s Premier League fixtures, with Mikel Arteta’s side winless in the north-east for over two years. The north Londoners have not been victorious at St James’ Park since May 2023, where they earned a 2-0 win thanks to a Martin Odegaard strike and Fabian Schar’s own goal. Since then, it has been slim pickings for Arsenal on their more recent trips. They have been dealt two 1-0 defeats and a 2-0 loss in their past three visits, with one of those coming in the Carabao Cup semi-finals last term.
Now, Arteta’s side are buoyed after their last-minute draw against Manchester City, saved by Gabriel Martinelli’s late equaliser to snatch a point at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners outplayed City for large periods in north London, and they will be looking to get back to winning ways here.
That certainly won’t be easy against a Newcastle side, despite the Magpies’ indifferent form in all competitions. They were beaten 2-1 by Barcelona in the Champions League, but they defeated Wolves 1-0 and were held 0-0 by Bournemouth. It’s sure to be a thrilling encounter, and you can follow all the action with our live blog below!

Arsenal out to silence Arteta critics by ending Newcastle hoodoo
If you were to guess the three managers that have beaten Mikel Arteta the most during his coaching career so far, you would probably correctly name the top two, writes Simon Collings.
Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp claim those positions, but the man in third place is more surprising and harder to call.
Eddie Howe is the manager in question and, during his time at Newcastle, he has become a real thorn in Arteta’s side.

Newcastle sent warning with Arsenal to show ‘attacking mindset’
Christian Norgaard insists Arsenal are “an attacking team” and will show it against Newcastle, writes Simon Collings.
The Gunners have been accused of playing with the “handbrake on” during the early part of the season.
Sky Sports pundits Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville both criticised Mikel Arteta for his approach last weekend, when Arsenal drew with Manchester City.

Standard Sport prediction
Arsenal haven’t had much joy in their recent trips to St James’ Park. In fact, they haven’t scored on their last three visits – something that will have to change if they’re to avoid losing more ground on Liverpool.
Newcastle’s struggles in front of goal at the moment may play into the Gunners’ favour and we think a cagey affair will be settled by one moment of magic.
Arsenal to win, 1-0.
Arsenal team news
Arsenal’s injury crisis has deepened with conformation that Noni Madueke set to miss a number of weeks with a knee injury sustained in the 1-1 draw with Man City.
The winger joins Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz on the sidelines, though Bukayo Saka is fine despite being on the receiving end of a heavy tackle in the Carabao Cup win over Port Vale.
Eberechi Eze is expected to start having contributed a goal and an assist on his last two appearances, while Arteta believes Martin Odegaard could be fit enough to start.
The Norwegian has only trained twice ahead of the match after recovering from a shoulder issue, but is progressing well in his recovery.
Arteta said of the midfielder: “Martin certainly has the capacity not to do too much and not to train too much and go in two days and perform at the highest level, because he’s naturally a super-gifted, fit player.”
Newcastle team news
Newcastle can welcome Anthony Gordon back after the England international served a three-game domestic suspension for his red card in the loss to Liverpool last month.
The forward will bolster the home side’s attacking options, especially with Deadline Day signing Yoane Wissa still sidelined with a knee injury sustained on international duty.
Howe has rotated heavily in the past two games but is expected to hand starts to the likes of Nick Pope, Sandro Tonali, Nick Woltemade and Valentino Liveramento, while Joe Willock is pushing to feature against his former club.
