The only certainty with this fixture is that it probably won’t be a high scoring affair (even when they wiped the floor with us and ended our champions league qualifying hopes in 2022 it was only 2-0). They don’t score against us often, in fact they haven’t scored a goal at the Emirates since 2014 (I was at that game, that’s how long ago it was ) and even at St James Park they’ve scored something like three goals in the last five games against us.

They will come at us, so it’s important to win the 50/50s take the early sting out of the game and try to score first. We could get blown away like mid week but if we score first…I think it sets us up nicely
