Preview: Arsenal vs Newcastle

Arsene Wenger had his side produce a master class display.  Aaron Ramsey scored a stunner as did German teammate Lukas Podolski. Newcastle are coming off the back of yet another Chelsea win at St James' Park. Quashing all talk of Chelsea emulating Arsene's golden squad. Heading into the Emirates, you just remember the classic clashes between the two sides over the years, both home and away.

Arsenal vs Newcastle
Wenger has the dilemma of which side to put out there. It was an impressive show and a combination of the German and Chilean would be worth a sight. Upfront the Gunners arsenal is well stocked with variety and quality. The back is the weak link as Arsenal seek to hold on until January for recruitments or will Wenger stubbornness let them soldier on.

Newcastle should be buzzing and would be fascinated to see how Arsenal will deal with Moussa Sissoko,  Papiss Cissè and young Ayoze Perez. The trio can cause havoc to a defense lacking in synergy, unity and consistency. With Laurent Koscieny set to return Arsenal may do with the French addition who will take on a couple of compatriots this weekend! Freshly claiming Manager of the month, could Alan Pardew claim another London giant?

History is against winning manager of the month, as the team's form usually takes a dip.

Key players:
Jan Alnwick- No goalkeeper made as many saves as him, and he played less than a full game. Maybe it was debut adrenaline!  Will he manage to excel again?

Aaron Ramsey- The Welsh star could have rediscovered his form while in Turkey. Should he manage to pass a fitness test will be integral in a Gunners surge up the table.
