Match Details
The match kicks off at 5:30pm GMT on Saturday, April 25, 2026 at the Emirates Stadium. The game was originally scheduled for 3pm but has been moved for live broadcast on Sky Sports. Please note this fixture may be subject to change if either club reaches the FA Cup semi-finals or has ongoing UEFA competition commitments, as the game falls on FA Cup semi-final weekend.
Emirates Stadium
The Emirates Stadium has been Arsenal's home since 2006, when the club moved from the iconic Highbury. With a capacity of 60,704, it ranks as one of the largest club grounds in England. The stadium has become a fortress for Arsenal in recent seasons, particularly against Newcastle - the Gunners are unbeaten in their last 13 Premier League home games against the Magpies, winning 12 of them since losing 1-0 to an Andy Carroll header in November 2010.
Head-to-Head Record
This fixture dates back to 1893, when both clubs operated under different names - Woolwich Arsenal and Newcastle United first met in Division Two. Since then, there have been 198 competitive meetings, with Arsenal holding the edge with 87 victories to Newcastle's 72 wins and 39 draws. The rivalry has produced three FA Cup finals: Arsenal won 2-0 in 1998 with goals from Marc Overmars and Nicolas Anelka, while Newcastle prevailed 1-0 in 1952 and 2-1 in the controversial 1932 final where their equaliser appeared to cross the byline before being converted.
Last Meeting: Newcastle 1-2 Arsenal (September 28, 2025)
The reverse fixture at St James' Park provided high drama as Arsenal staged a stunning late comeback. Nick Woltemade headed Newcastle in front on 34 minutes, exploiting a mistake from Gabriel who failed to challenge effectively. Arsenal dominated possession but found Nick Pope in inspired form, denying Eberechi Eze twice and keeping the Gunners at bay. The breakthrough finally came in the 84th minute when Mikel Merino, facing his former club, headed in Declan Rice's cross to level the scores. Then, in the sixth minute of stoppage time, Gabriel redeemed himself by powering home a header from a corner to spark wild celebrations among the travelling supporters. The victory ended Arsenal's run of three successive defeats at St James' Park and maintained their title challenge.
Arsenal 2025/26 Season
Mikel Arteta has Arsenal on the verge of their first league title since the Invincibles of 2003-04. The Gunners lead by nine points and have shown remarkable consistency throughout the campaign. Viktor Gyökeres has been a revelation since his summer arrival, while the spine of Martin Ødegaard, Declan Rice, and William Saliba continues to provide both creativity and solidity. The squad has also progressed to the FA Cup quarter-finals against Southampton and remains competitive in the Champions League. With just a handful of games remaining, every home victory brings the title closer to N5.
Newcastle 2025/26 Season
Newcastle's season has been one of frustration despite starting as EFL Cup holders after their memorable 2-1 victory over Liverpool in March 2025. The summer departure of Alexander Isak to Liverpool for £125m left a significant void that replacements Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa have struggled to fill consistently. Eddie Howe's side currently sit in 12th position, well below expectations, though they have shown encouraging signs in the Champions League. The manager retains the backing of the Saudi-backed ownership despite calls from some supporters for a change, with the board believing Howe remains the right man to lead the club's ambitious project.
