Arsenal host Newcastle United at the Emirates in desperate need of a win to boost the Mikel Arteta era. It's just one win in seven Premier League games under the Spaniard, who has struggled to translate promising signs in the shift in performances to results.

Steve Bruce's Magpies are level with the Gunners on points in 11th, with Burnley three clear of both in 10th. Newcastle will prove to be resilient and disciplined, placing great emphasis on the fluidity of Arsenal under Arteta and their ability to break down the visitors. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was the difference between the sides at St James' Park earlier in the season, and the Gabonese, on 14 goals for the season, will look to narrow the gap to Jamie Vardy as he bids to retain his golden boot.

Prediction

Arsenal have won just once in the Premier League since Mikel Arteta took over, so now seems like a good time to change that, given their performances have shown glimpses of taking on board the instructions from their new coach. Newcastle will undoubtedly be stubborn, but we’ll look to the Gunners to edge home, 1-0.
