The Gunners will be hoping to stretch an impressive winning run against the Magpies and edge themselves clear of Burnley in the Premier League table
Arsenal will be looking to stretch a 10-match winning run against Newcastle on Sunday, while also cementing their sixth-placed standing in the Premier League table.
The Gunners have avoided defeat against the Magpies since November 2010, with their last reversal at St James’ Park coming way back in December 2005.
Arsene Wenger could do with that sequence being extended as Arsenal have seen Burnley close to within striking distance behind them, making it all the more important for domestic focus to be maintained amid an ongoing pursuit of continental glory in the Europa League.
