Arsenal have lost just one of their last 20 Premier League home games against Newcastle (W17 D2), winning 11 of the last 12 (D1) since a 1-0 loss in November 2010.

Following their 1-0 win at St James’ Park in November, Newcastle are looking to complete their first league double over Arsenal since 1994-95.

Newcastle have won three games against Arsenal this season, 1-0 in the Premier League and 2-0 in both legs of the League Cup semi-final. No team has ever beaten the Gunners four times in a single campaign.

Newcastle have won five of their last eight meetings with Arsenal in all competitions (D1 L2), as many as they had in their previous 52 against the Gunners (D11 L36).

Arsenal have only lost their final home league game in one of the last 27 seasons (W22 D4), going down 2-1 against Aston Villa in 2010-11. The only time their final home game of a league campaign was against Newcastle was in 1996-97, losing 1-0 thanks to a Robbie Elliott goal.

Newcastle haven’t lost their final away league game in any of the last six seasons (W4 D2) since a 1-0 loss at Tottenham in 2017-18. Four of these games have been at London sides (W3 D1), beating Brentford 4-2 last term.

Arsenal are winless in their last four home games in all competitions (D2 L2), losing the last two. They last had a longer run without a win at the Emirates between March and May 2021 (6), while they last lost more consecutively in November/December 2019 (4).

Newcastle have won seven of their last nine Premier League games, though have failed to win either of their last two away from home (D1 L1). Victory here would see them leapfrog Arsenal into second place in the table, with the Magpies last finishing that high in the top-flight in 1996-97.

William Saliba could make his 100th Premier League appearance in this match. If he plays and Arsenal win, it would equal the most victories for a Gunners player in their first 100 games in the competition (68 by Lauren and Sol Campbell).

Jacob Murphy has provided 12 assists in the Premier League this season. The only Newcastle players with more in a single campaign are Andrew Cole (13 in 1993-94) and Nolberto Solano (15 in 1999-00).
