Ahead of Saturday’s Premier League matchup against Newcastle at St. James’ Park, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has addressed the media. After surrendering points in back-to-back league games against Bournemouth and Liverpool, the Gunners will be looking to go back to winning ways.
Newcastle, who have lost their previous four Premier League games, is in a similar situation. Newcastle won this match last season in highly contentious circumstances. Despite VAR closely examining three separate incidences, the Magpies’ winner was allowed to stand, which sparked an intense Arteta press conference during which he harshly criticised the refereeing.
