Two clubs in opposite halves of the Premier League table will do battle today in a match between Newcastle and Arsenal. The first-division clash scheduled for 11 a.m. ET will be held at St. James' Park in Newcastle upon Tyne and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on NBC Sports.
What They're Saying
Newcastle manager John Carver (via Chronicle Live): "I've spoken to Lee Charnley and he has spoken to Mike [Ashley]. They acknowledged the fact we are a little bit short at the back and in particular center-back, but there is a process in place. I've been involved in that process in the last few weeks. We have another meeting in a fortnight with Lee and Graham Carr to talk about the future."
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger (via Express): "Ninety-five percent of the players will still be here next season and what is important is the attitude of this 95 percent of the players and how much we improve; how much we push on now until the end of the season.
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Theo Walcott enjoyed a call up from Roy Hodgson for England's impending European qualifiers. In nine appearances this campaign, however, the 26-year-old has just two goals and no assists.
Newcastle's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Krul; Taylor, Anita, Williamson, Janmaat; Colback, Sissoko; Ameobi, Cabella, Perez; Riviere
Arsenal's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Ospina; Monreal, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Bellerin; Ramsey, Coquelin; Sanchez, Ozil, Walcott; Giroud
