Newcastle v Arsenal: Pick of the stats
- Published
Newcastle have won just one of their past 10 Premier League games against Arsenal, failing to score on eight occasions in that run.
Only Manchester United (14) have won more Premier League away games against Newcastle than Arsenal (13), with the Gunners winning eight of their last 10 visits to St James' Park.
As well as being the joint-highest goalscorers in the Premier League this season with 26 goals, Newcastle have the best shot conversion rate (18.6%) and the second-highest expected goals total (22.1) in the competition so far.
Arsenal have kept 30 Premier League clean sheets against Newcastle, the most one side has kept against another in the competition's history.
Newcastle are unbeaten in their last six league games, scoring at least twice in each of the last five. They last scored two or more goals in six consecutive Premier League games between August and October 2004.
Eddie Nketiah – who scored a hat-trick against Sheffield United last time out – could make his 100th Premier League appearance in this game. He would be the 66th different player to reach this milestone for Arsenal.
