Arsenal hasn’t lost at home since their opening game of the season, and look to claim the top spot in the table today against Newcastle. Mezut Ozil has been the driving force for the Gunners, dishing out 16 assists in 18 games this season.
After a surprise defeat on Boxing Day, Arsene Wenger’s men beat Bournemouth convincingly. The team is currently tied with Leicester at the top of the BPL table with 39 points. They still don’t have Alexis Sanchez back from a hamstring injury, but should see Mathieu Flamini return to the lineup.
It won’t be easy for Newcastle, who are winless in their last three matches. The Magpies are 18th in the table, two points deep in the relegation zone behind Swansea City.
