Welcome to Newcastle United versus Arsenal at St James Park, where John Carver's side go into this game in the midst of an injury crisis. With just 13 senior outfield players to choose from and Papiss Cisse and Fabricio Coloccini suspended, Magpies fans will be fearing the worst against an Arsenal side who have won their last six games in all competitions.

90+4'
F-T! Newcastle United 1-2 Arsenal. Phew. That was a fantastic second-half performance from Newcastle who pushed Arsenal very, very hard. The home side will feel they should have had a penalty when Cabella fell in the area after a tackle from Koscielny, but Mike Jones said no meaning Olivier Giroud's two first-half goals gave the Gunners all three points.

Danny Welbeck has Arsenal's first real chance of the second half as he uses his pace to get past Williamson before shooting straight at Krul from a tight angle.

Gutierrez nutmegs Chambers before firing a cross into the Arsenal box. It's overhit and the danger is gone.
75'
The substitutions have taken the sting out of the game a little, with Newcastle looking for a final push towards an equaliser and Arsenal hoping to hit them on the break.
73'
Sissoko wins the ball for the umpteenth time today and the ball is fed to Cabella who runs straight at the Arsenal defence before being forced wide. The Frenchman does get his shot away but after a deflection it's easy for Ospina to hold.

Substitutions all-round here as Santi Cazorla and Alexis Sanchez are replaced by Mathieu Flamini for Arsenal and Jonas Gutierrez comes on for Anita for Newcastle.
70'
Cazorla plays Giroud through and he's clear on goal before being called back for offside. Replays show it was the wrong decision.
68'
Giroud goes down after a knee in the hip from Williamson. Mike Jones couldn't see it so nothing is given.
66'
Janmaat goes for the ambitious this time with a 30 yard strike which is driven a metre wide of the right-hand post.
