Arsenal are back on top of the Premier League with ambitions to stay there as they host Wolves and Newcastle take on Manchester United in a clash of two teams with high ambitions on Saturday.
Newcastle v Manchester United pits a team with one of the best home records against a side who have been picking up wins on the road.
Despite a long injury list, Newcastle have won six of their seven Premier League games at their St James' Park stronghold this season.
Erik ten Hag's Manchester United, despite their patchy form overall, have four victories out of six games away from home.
Both teams have ambitions of qualifying for season's Champions League and they each face a battle to qualify for the knockout phase of this year's competition after midweek draws.
Newcastle, who recently hammered Manchester United 3-0 in the League Cup, will fancy their chances against a team who, while they have started to score more freely, remain vulnerable at the back.
United have conceded 33 goals in all competitions this season, the most in their opening 20 matches of any campaign since 1962/63.
Meanwhile, Arsenal's last-gasp 1-0 win at Brentford last week, which took them back to the top of table, was their fifth Premier League victory by a single goal this season.
The Gunners lack the fluidity they showed in the 2022/23 campaign and attacking numbers are down but former Manchester United defender Gary Neville believes they are now better equipped to win the league.
"Perfect, pretty football is unlikely to win the league unless it's combined with a doggedness and resilience," he said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
"Arsenal are better this year in these areas and the football will come in due course."
