It meant that the Gunners allowed Man City back into the title battle, handing the momentum over to Pep Guardiola and co who went top of the table with their win at Burnley on Wednesday.

Confidence is now on the floor in North London, with quadruple hopes sinking to potentially no trophies at all this season.

But a vital three points against a struggling Newcastle side could help change that heading into the final few games of the season.

The Magpies have lost four straight games in all competitions, including their last three in the Premier League, leaving manager Eddie Howe under huge pressure in the dugout.

Arsenal vs Newcastle: Team news

Arsenal have been forced to deal with multiple injuries to their stars in recent weeks, with Bukayo Saka struggling.

Saka missed the crunch clash with Man City with a persistent Achilles problem and will still be a doubt for this game.

Meanwhile, Jurrien Timber and Riccardo Calafiori are also doubts, but could make a return from their knocks this weekend.

Viktor Gyokeres was benched for the City game, with Kai Havertz preferred up front – and Arteta could stick with his set-up.

As for Newcastle, Joelinton is suspended and Anthony Gordon may not be fit after sitting out of the game against Bournemouth.

Valentino Livramento is expected to be out for a while, joining Fabian Schar and Emil Krafth in the treatment room.

Arsenal vs Newcastle: What has been said?

Arsenal legend Patrick Vieira has told the current Gunners squad to remember their qualities as they begin the title run-in.

“I think I just want them to remind themselves where they are and why they are where they are,” Vieira said.

“They are in the top of the league, they are in the semi-final of the Champions League and you can’t reach that level with no quality, with no team spirit and with no togetherness.

“It’s about winning games, they know how to do it because they’ve been doing it for the last seven, eight months.

“When we are in the last sprint, I will say it, it’s important not to forget the quality that brings them where they are today because that will help them to win.”
