Everything that happens at St. James Park is in the spotlight tonight.
Two Premier League heavyweights collide as Arsenal head to Newcastle United to test their pace in a stadium that has become a recent beacon for surprise results. Mikel Arteta’s side arrive with a pressing need to seize three points and stay in striking distance of Manchester City, who currently lead the title race. Newcastle United, sitting comfortably in the upper reaches, aim to consolidate a Champions League berth and frustrate the visitors with a disciplined display at home.

Key considerations ahead of the clash:
- Newcastle edged out a 2-0 victory in the previous meeting at St James’ Park, continuing a streak of home fortress form against Arsenal that began in the mid-1990s. The Magpies will seek to extend that advantage again this season.
- Arsenal have endured a dry spell in front of goal in their recent meetings with Newcastle, though their overall record includes a prolific spell with several goals scored in most previous fixtures.
- The first league encounter between these sides in the current campaign ended in a goalless draw. Newcastle have not avoided defeat in all league meetings with Arsenal in a season since 2010-11, a reminder of the tight margins in this matchup.
- Historically, Arsenal have kept clean sheets against Newcastle in the Premier League, a stat that highlights the tactical battles between the clubs over the years and the balance of defensive organization in their head-to-heads.
- Newcastle is one of a few teams that have proved difficult for Arsenal in the current season, alongside other challengers. A win for Arsenal would notch a notable tally of teams defeated in one league campaign, echoing a trend last seen a decade ago.
