Newcastle United vs Arsenal | Premier League | Gameweek 10 - Live Match
Mikel Arteta's team easily defeated Preston North End 3-0 on Wednesday night, while the Magpies defeated a much-changed Chelsea 2-0 to get to their first quarterfinal of the season.
In the final 16 of the EFL Cup, the Premier League title contenders were, predictably, far too strong for their Deepdale rivals. This matchup featured the two English football teams that have ever finished an entire top-flight season undefeated—Preston in 1888–89 and Arsenal in 2003–04.
Kai Havertz's thunderous header and Gabriel Jesus's first goal in precisely nine months were followed by a wonderful curling strike from 17-year-old phenom Ethan Nwaneri, who became the youngest player to score in their first two Arsenal starts.
Last weekend, Arsenal could have used a little Nwaneri motivation against Liverpool. Arteta's crop rightfully led 2-1 at halftime, but the 11 men played the second half like they had 10 men and lost to a brilliant equalizer from Mohamed Salah in that thrilling 2-2 match.
Arsenal has already lost crucial ground in the race for the title; they are currently in third place in the Premier League standings, five points behind leaders Manchester City. They have also lost their defensive run, conceding multiple goals in four of their previous five Premier League games.
