This definitely shows that Arsenal have been exuding brilliance in the league in 2024, possibly with the hope of ending the season with the league title.
The Gunners came close to lifting the crown last campaign, leading the league for most parts of the season, but bottling it at the important stages, with Manchester City claiming the crown at the very end.
Anyway, they will be looking to avoid costly errors this season, which might throw their title chances out of the way.
Mikel Arteta's side come into the encounter against Newcastle United, following a 1-0 loss to Porto at the Estadio do Dragao in the UEFA Champions League.
Wenderson Galeno's magnificent goal in the 4th minute of stoppage time, handed the Portuguese side the victory and sent the stadium into a frenzy.
In the league, Arsenal welcome Newcastle United to the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, February 24, 2024, after annihilating Burnley 5-0 away from home.
They recorded their biggest away win in history a fortnight ago, smashing West Ham 6-0 at the London Stadium on February 11, 2024, however, they followed that up with a breathtaking win against the Clarets.
Anyway, Newcastle United come into this showdown also having an impressive run of form, as they are unbeaten in their last 5 matches across all competitions - winning 3 games and drawing 2.
They have seemingly overcome the early season bug that saw them falter on many occasions, with the fans infuriated by their showing.
The Magpies might not qualify for the UEFA Champions League this campaign, although it isn't impossible, however, they should be able to sneak a UEFA Europa League spot if they continue their amazing display in recent weeks.
Matt Ritchie helped Newcastle United snatch a point from the jaws of defeat against Bournemouth, scoring 2 minutes into stoppage time at St James Park.
Dominik Solanke had scored the opener for Bournemouth in the 51st minute before Anthony Gordon equalized for the Magpies 7 minutes later.

Newcastle United sit 8th on the log, with 37 points from 25 matches, while Arsenal sit 3rd with 55 points, 5 points behind league-leaders Liverpool, who have amassed 60 points from 25 games this campaign.
Eddie Howe's side came out victorious in the first leg of this meeting in November 2023, through controversial circumstances, after the ball was said to have gone out of play in the build-up to the goal.
Anthony Gordon netted the solitary goal of the game, with fans of Arsenal fuming at the decision to award the goal.
