ARSENAL face a mammoth Premier League challenge as they travel to Tyneside where high-flying Newcastle awaits.
The Gunners were hoping to be battling on all fronts this campaign after having an impressive start to the season.
However, a damning performance at the London Stadium helped West Ham dump Mikel Arteta’s men out of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night.
And now, Arsenal will have to pick themselves up against a Newcastle side who recently thrashed Manchester United at Old Trafford.
But the North London outfit are yet to taste defeat in the league – something that only bitter rivals Tottenham have achieved so far.

- Arsenal’s mouthwatering match against Newcastle will take place on Saturday, November 4.
- It is scheduled to get underway at 5:30pm GMT.
- St James’ Park is the allocated venue for this huge Premier League fixture and it can host approximately 52,000 fans.

What is the team news?
Newcastle boss Eddie Howe would have been devastated to see Matt Target forced off during the Manchester United win after just three minutes with a hamstring issue.
And it could possibly see the Magpies defender miss the Arsenal clash along with Harvey Barnes (foot), Aleksandr Isak (groin), Elliot Anderson (back), Jacob Murphy (shoulder), Lewis Miley (muscle) and Sven Botman (knee).
While £70million summer signing Sandro Tonali continues to serve his ten-month footballing ban.
