Arsenal 1 — 0 Newcastle - Livescore ( 1-0 )
Arsenal vs Newcastle – LIVE!
Arsenal are looking to get back to winning ways when they host Newcastle at the Emirates Stadium this evening. While the Gunners were taught something of a lesson by Porto earlier this week, Mikel Arteta’s side have been in fine form in the Premier League of late.
They remain on the hunt for a title and could put pressure on leaders Liverpool with a victory against Eddie Howe’s side.

Not only are Arsenal in sparkling form, their opponents have generally struggled on the road this season and have not scored a goal at the Emirates in nine years.
