"They are a very good team, really well coached," Mikel Arteta told a press conference as he previewed the Newcastle game.
"I think what Eddie [Howe] has done in a short period of time and you look at the numbers it’s incredible, so big credit to him and the coaching staff.
"They have created a belief and momentum around the team that they play the same way against any opponents, so we will start to prepare for that game.
"It is going to be another big test, but we will play at home in front of our crowd, and I’m looking forward to it."
Both Arsenal and Newcastle are making waves in the Premier League this season. Newcastle are currently third in the table in their first full season under Saudi ownership - but Arsenal have it even better as they are on top.
Should the Gunners win tonight, they will have a 10-point lead over Manchester City who will take on Chelsea in their next game this Thursday.
