The window to keep their title dream alive is narrowing fast, and the Emirates crowd will demand an immediate response.
Newcastle, meanwhile, arrive in London in a state of crisis. Four consecutive defeats, a devastating Champions League exit at the hands of Barcelona and a growing injury list have left Eddie Howe’s side languishing in 14th place, their early-season ambitions long forgotten.

There is also a fascinating Nigerian subplot to monitor throughout the evening. Bukayo Saka, Noni Madueke and Eberechi Eze — all of Nigerian heritage — line up for Arsenal, while Newcastle’s William Osula, currently linked with a potential Super Eagles switch, leads the Magpies’ attack.
Kick-off is at 17:30 WAT. Follow all the action right here.
