Mikel Arteta Praises Newcastle Ahead of Arsenal Clash at St James’ Park
Mikel Arteta, Arsenal’s manager, has shown respect for Newcastle United ahead of their highly anticipated Premier League clash at St James’ Park.
Despite Newcastle’s recent struggles—going five league games without a win—Arteta remains aware of the potential threat they pose. Currently positioned 12th in the Premier League, Newcastle has faced criticism, though some analysts, including Chris Sutton, believe the concerns about their performance are exaggerated.

Arteta acknowledged this shift in Newcastle’s momentum, underlining the talent and resilience within the squad, and stressing that Arsenal will not underestimate the Magpies on their home turf. As the Gunners prepare for this crucial away match,
Arteta’s comments signal respect and caution in what promises to be a challenging encounter.
