A primetime clash between Newcastle and Arsenal headlines Saturday evening's action in the Premier League.
Mikel Arteta has rallied his Gunners for a fresh title charge after last season's disappointment and a victory on Tyneside could put them top of the table.
A rotated Arsenal side were well beaten by West Ham in the Carabao Cup ahead of the trip north but they will hope that has little bearing on the resumption of league duties.
Newcastle will view things a little differently after swatting aside Manchester United in the same competition on Wednesday night.
After a tricky start, the Toon are unbeaten in six league games and will view this match as a springboard towards another tilt at a top-four finish.

Newcastle vs Arsenal is scheduled for a 5.30pm GMT kick-off on Saturday, November 4, 2023.
The match will take place at St. James' Park.
