Match Stats

Newcastle United: 

Fresh off a solid 2-0 victory over Chelsea in the EFL Cup, Newcastle United will look to carry that momentum into their Premier League clash with Arsenal on Saturday. The Magpies are coming into this match with confidence, having advanced to the quarter-finals for the first time this season. Their home form at St James' Park has been impressive, and they will aim to leverage that against a high-profile opponent. With their sights set on climbing the Premier League table, Newcastle knows that a win against Arsenal could be a significant statement in their campaign.


Arsenal: 

Meanwhile, Arsenal also enjoyed a comfortable 3-0 win over Preston North End in the EFL Cup, with 17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri making headlines by scoring in his first two starts for the club. However, the Gunners face pressure to improve in the league after a disappointing 2-2 draw with Liverpool last weekend, where they squandered a first-half lead. Currently third in the table and five points behind leaders Manchester City, Arsenal's defensive frailties have been a concern, conceding nine goals in their last five league matches. Mikel Arteta will be eager to address these issues and secure a vital away win to keep their title hopes alive against a determined Newcastle side.
