New Delhi: On Saturday, Arsenal will go to Newcastle with the opportunity to exert pressure on their opponents for the Premier League crown. Although they will undoubtedly have been unhappy not to have won after taking the lead twice, the Gunners made sure Liverpool could not put a significant amount of distance between them by securing a 2-2 draw on Sunday.
However, a 3-0 victory against Preston in the Carabao Cup prepared Mikel Arteta’s team for the trip, and three points at St. James’ Park would put them within one point of the Reds and two points behind current leaders Manchester City.
The hosts Although they have had a rough start to the season and fell 2-1 to Chelsea last week, Newcastle are certainly a tough opponent at home. On Wednesday night, they exacted revenge against the Blues with a 2-0 Carabao Cup triumph. However, the Toons need to be on their toes against Mikel Arteta’s side in order to get the job done.
