The Magpies drew 3-3 against Brentford in their last EPL clash and still look for an elusive first win.
Lascelles, Joelinton and Saint-Maximin’s goals were cancelled out by Toney, Henry and Lascelles (og).
Newcastle just cannot seem to find the right combination and performance to pick up a win, which is leaving their season in a very precarious position.
Both sides last met in the EPL 2020-21 in May earlier this year, where Arsenal won 2-0 away.

Team News
Xhaka and Kolasinac remain the absentees for Arsenal due to ankle injuries as they continue the recovery.
Newcastle’s Gayle is a doubt due to a hamstring strain while Dummett returned to training, but this one might be too soon for him.
Arsenal possible 11:
Ramsdale, Tomiyasu, White, Gabriel, Tierney, Saka, Partey, Maitland-Niles, Smith-Rowe, Lacazette and Aubameyang
Newcastle possible 11:
Darlow, Clark, Lascelles, Schar, Ritchie, Willock, Shelvey, Murphy, Saint-Maximin, Joelinton and Wilson
Prediction: Arsenal 3-1 Newcastle
This should be a routine win for the Gunners given the quality and form on show.
Newcastle’s troubles are mounting and we do not expect them to get much from this one. They lack the confidence to challenge any side.
Players to watch out for: Smith-Rowe, Saka, Saint-Maximin and Wilson.
