Mikel looking forward to St James' Park challenge

We’ll be looking to get back to winning ways in the Premier League when we face Newcastle United at St James’ Park on Sunday, and Mikel Arteta is expecting a high-quality game.

Speaking at the Sobha Realty Training Centre on Friday afternoon, Mikel warned that we will have to be at our best if we are to beat the Magpies on Tyneside for the first time since May 2023, with the Geordies winning the last three meetings on their turf since then without conceding.

“You have to dominate when you play against them, we have to be ready because they continue so rapidly, so quickly," he said to the media.
