Toon in training: All eyes on Arsenal trip

The Magpies head to the Emirates Stadium to face Mikel Arteta's men, who are two points off top spot in the Premier League table after five straight wins.

But Eddie Howe's side have proved difficult to beat recently, snatching late draws against Luton Town and Bournemouth and sealing wins on the road against Fulham, Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest.

United's away form will give them grounds for optimism as they travel to the capital and they were fully focused in midweek as their preparations for the game continued. Serena Taylor was at Wednesday's training session to bring nufc.co.uk this gallery.
