Newcastle - Arsene Wenger admits it will take a major slip from Chelsea to allow Arsenal back into the Premier League title race.
Wenger's side will attempt to put their agonising midweek Champions League exit at the hands of Monaco behind them when they travel to face Newcastle on Saturday.
Victory at St James' Park would extend their run of five successive league wins, a sequence that has taken them to within one point of second-placed Manchester City and seven points behind leaders Chelsea, who have a game in hand.
