Hatem Bomb Starts! Game On! Arsenal v Newcastle

Welcome one and all to our 'Game On' article which this evening will take us through every twist and turn as the Magpies take on the Gunners in North London.

It's going to be a toughie, but a positive result would keep us up there chasing 4th place for another week although I personally feel that it is beyond us and that we'd do better to concentrate on consolidating our current 6th place standing.

As has been discussed, Arsenal have hit a hot streak and are scoring goals while Newcastle are struggling in terms of picking up wins. It will be a home banker in the eyes of many, but it was last season also and we won so you just never know.

Now it's time for the players to do the talking. Team news is below and will be updated accordingly so now all you have to do is sit back, try and relax, and watch in while Newcastle set about getting some points at a ground which, over the years, has hardly been favourable to us.

Howay the lads!
