Newcastle and Arsenal play in a big game at a great time on Saturday night in the Premier League.
After a disappointing season, Mikel Arteta has inspired his Gunners to go for the title again. A win on Tyneside could put them at the top of the table.
Arsenal’s rested team lost badly to West Ham in the Carabao Cup before their trip up north, but they will hope that doesn’t affect their return to league play.
After beating Manchester United in the same game on Wednesday night, Newcastle will have a different view of things.
The Toon haven’t lost in six league games after a rough start. They will see this game as a stepping stone to another chance to finish in the top four.
Date, time, and place of the game
The game between Newcastle and Arsenal is set to start at 5:30pm GMT on November 4, 2023.
St. James’ Park is where the game will be played.
