Dark arts and defending are likely to be the order of the day at St James' Park on Sunday afternoon, as Newcastle United and Arsenal square off in an intriguing Premier League contest.

- The Magpies have won three of their last five games against the Mikel Arteta-led side.
- Arsenal won their last battle.
- Newcastle have won three of their last four meetings without conceding a goal.
- Only three of their last 10 encounters produced more than two goals.

- Newcastle in all competitions: D-W-L-D-W
- Arsenal in the league: W-W-L-W-D
- Arsenal in all competitions: L-W-W-D-W
Team News:
- Newcastle United will be without the services of Yoane Wissa and Jacob Ramsey as they are injured. Fabian Schar might also miss out due to fitness issues.
- Noni Madueke, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus will not be in action for Arsenal as they are injured. Martin Odegaard and Piero Hincapie might also miss out due to a lack of fitness. Saka is also a slight doubt.
Player(s) to watch:
- Nick Woltemade will be looking to step up, so that he can help his side in the attacking front. Nick Woltemade has scored one goal in two Premier League games this season. The German player is still new to the league and is adapting to the style of play, but he has been impactful.
- Viktor Gyokeres hasn’t been able to perform up to his standards. Even though he has scored three goals in five EPL appearances, he still has a lot to prove. The Swedish forward is going to be a constant threat to the opponent’s defence. A player of his calibre can help his side win the games single-handedly.
