Xhaka has not forgotten how they were embarrassed on their last visit to Saint James Park.
Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka has warned his teammates about how tough their match at Newcastle United will be as the Magpies are in great form.
Newcastle is targeting Champions League qualification this season and they are almost in. It will be a tough assignment for the Gunners to earn three points in the title race.
Xhaka has not forgotten how they were embarrassed on their last visit to Saint James Park.
‘We don’t forget the game we had there last season,’ he told Sky Sports.
‘I have to be honest they destroyed us. They were much, much better, they wanted it more. We have to go there and show them we are ready and why we are where we are.
‘We deserve to be where we are at the moment. But it will be a very tough moment because Newcastle are doing a very good job.’
The Magpies are one of the strongest sides to play against now and Arsenal must be at their very best to get a result in that game.
