"Mikel Arteta's men suffered another early setback in the title race as they were held to a 1-1 home draw by City, Arsenal requiring a 93rd-minute equaliser from Gabriel Martinelli to claim a share of the spoils. Arsenal are already five points behind defending champions Liverpool at the top of the table, and could be eight back by the time they kick off at St James' Park."
"Visits to Tyneside have provided little joy of late for Arsenal, who have won just one of their last five away games against Newcastle in all competitions. Newcastle beat Arsenal three times in all competitions last season, two of those victories coming at St James' Park as the Magpies defeated the Gunners in the EFL Cup semi-finals en route to winning their first major domestic trophy for 70 years."
Arsenal will aim to move on from their 1-1 home draw with Manchester City, where Gabriel Martinelli's 93rd-minute equaliser rescued a point. The Gunners trail league leaders Liverpool by five points and could be eight behind depending on Liverpool's result. Matches at St James' Park have been difficult for Arsenal, with just one win in their last five away fixtures against Newcastle. Newcastle beat Arsenal three times last season, including two victories at St James' Park and an EFL Cup semi-final run to their first major domestic trophy in 70 years. Newcastle have conceded only once in the Premier League this season but have scored just three goals following Alexander Isak's departure. Arteta warned that Newcastle remain dangerous despite Isak now playing for Liverpool.
