Magpies Must be on Form to Topple 'consistent' Arsenal, Says Howe

Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has warned his team they must be at their best to beat a "consistent" Arsenal side when the two teams meet in the Premier League on Saturday.

Arsenal are top of the Premier League table, having won nine of their first 10 games, and Howe knows his team will have to be at their best to get a result at the Emirates Stadium.

Howe said: "We know we're going to have to be in good form to beat them. They're a very consistent side and they've got some excellent players."

"We'll need to be at our best to get something from the game. We'll need to be disciplined, we'll need to be organized, and we'll need to take our chances when they come."
