Newcastle United have won just one of the last 14 Barclays Premier League matches against Arsenal (W1 D5 L8)

Arsenal haven't scored in the first half of any of their last six Premier League matches. The earliest of their last 10 goals was a 60th minute strike.

The Magpies are the only team yet to score in the opening 30 minutes of their league matches this season. Their earliest goal this season has come in the 37th minute.

Since the start of last season, Newcastle have been shown more red cards than any other Premier League side (9).

Laurent Koscielny: Arsenal have already qualified for the round of 16 and, with Koscielny dealing with an Achilles issue for much of the season, he could be rested this Saturday vs. New Castle.

Mathieu Debuchy: He suffered an ankle injury back in September and had surgery. He could return against New Castle Saturday as Debuchy has been practicing this week.
