However, a damning performance at the London Stadium helped West Ham dump Mikel Arteta’s men out of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night.

And now, Arsenal will have to pick themselves up against a Newcastle side who recently thrashed Manchester United at Old Trafford.

But the North London outfit are yet to taste defeat in the league – something that only bitter rivals Tottenham have achieved so far.

When is Newcastle vs Arsenal?

Arsenal’s mouthwatering match against Newcastle will take place on Saturday, November 4.

It is scheduled to get underway at 5:30pm GMT.

St James’ Park is the allocated venue for this huge Premier League fixture and it can host approximately 52,000 fans.
Martin Odegaard’s strike and an own goal from Fabian Schar saw the Gunners escape Newcastle with a 2-0 win last time the teams met.

Alternatively, follow SunSport’s live blog for minute-by-minute coverage of the entire match.

What is the team news?

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe would have been devastated to see Matt Target forced off during the Manchester United win after just three minutes with a hamstring issue.

And it could possibly see the Magpies defender miss the Arsenal clash along with Harvey Barnes (foot), Aleksandr Isak (groin), Elliot Anderson (back), Jacob Murphy (shoulder), Lewis Miley (muscle) and Sven Botman (knee).

While £70million summer signing Sandro Tonali continues to serve his ten-month footballing ban.

Elsewhere, Mikel Arteta revealed that Emile Smith Rowe missed the West Ham defeat due to a knee issue which will see him sidelined along with Gabriel Jesus (hamstring), Thomas Partey (muscle) and Jurrien Timber (knee).
