THE last time Newcastle dropped in at the Emirates, they got a 7-3 drubbing. Looking at Arsenal’s current attacking form, it’s unlikely that they will blast into the net anything more than five – though getting a win looks doable.
Only because the Toon are not helping themselves – they have been in free fall since selling Yohan Cabaye to Paris St Germain in January. It didn’t help that the hole left by Cabaye was made bigger by a string of injuries to their players, including Loic Remy and Mathieu Debuchy. Their good start to the season means nothing now as they sputter towards the end of the season.
