Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Arsenal's Premier League clash with Newcastle from the Emirates. The Mikel Arteta revolution is yet to really take off in North London, with Arsenal having won just once in the league since the Spaniard succeeded Unai Emery. Newcastle are struggling for form and have a long injury list, but have exceeded expectations this season, and will be no pushovers. Something has to give!

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang tries to clip a cross into the middle, but gets it all wrong and the ball sails out of play.

Arsenal new signing Pablo Mari is in the house, but his team are under the cosh a little here as David Luiz makes an important challenge.

Dani Ceballos fires a powerful pass into Hector Bellerin, whose cross is blocked behind for a corner.

KICK OFF! We are up and running here at the Emirates.

So here we go. Arteta (W1 D5 L1) is just the second Arsenal manager to win only one of his first seven league games in charge of the club after Steve Burtenshaw in 1986. Time to start turning things around. We are minutes away!

A colourful dresscode...

It is a wet one!

Ahead of today's encounter, catch up with the latest transfer gossip from across Europe as Paul Pogba is again targeted by Juventus.

Big day for big Joe? Newcastle striker Joelinton has gone 22 Premier League games and 1766 minutes without scoring, since netting away in north London versus Spurs in August. The Brazilian has netted two goals in the FA Cup in this period, although both strikes came against League One opposition.

In case you have been living under a rock for a few days...

HEAD TO HEAD: Arsenal have won 13 of their last 14 Premier League games against Newcastle, losing the other 1-2 at St James’ Park in April 2018.
