Watch That's Offside - Newcastle Vs Arsenal!
The Premier League serves up another mouth-watering clash this weekend as Newcastle host Arsenal in the Super Sunday showdown.
The Gunners have been solid so far, but are already playing catch-up with Liverpool setting the pace at the top of the table.
As for the Magpies, they will be desperate to improve on their poor start, having managed just one win this season.
Form, tables and stats can mean little in games of this magnitude, and both sides will be desperate for the points.

Host Dan Muino will be on hand to keep things in check - or at least try to - as the debate promises to be every bit as intense as the action on the pitch.
