Arsenal have gone two Premier League games without a win and are well behind the two teams above them. They are five points behind Man City and four behind Liverpool. The Gunners need to win to consolidate their top three spot against competition from Aston Villa and Chelsea.
Mikel Arteta's side will be confident with the return of centre-back William Saliba after suspension, and with most of their key players having been rested in the Carabao Cup clash with Preston North End at the weekend, fitness should not be a concern.
Arsenal lost away to Newcastle last season and that cannot be repeated as the Gunners need points to keep their tight title race alive.
Newcastle, on the other hand, won against Chelsea in the fourth round of the English League Cup in midweek. However, in the Premier League, they have not won since mid-September and have dropped to 12th in the rankings. The enthusiastic crowd at St James' Park will be a support for the Magpies when they face the visitors from London.
