Arsenal to Play Newcastle Twice in 4 Days

In one of those weird scheduling things due to the various Cups teams play, Arsenal will play Newcastle in the FA Cup on the 26th and then in the Premiership on the 29th. Newcastle just beat Stoke 4-1 today in the FA Cup and announced the return of former manager Kevin Keegan. It means that Arsenal cannot take anything for granted, especially with their current squad. On top of things rumors are swirling that Diarra is moving to Portsmouth, although there has been no official announcement.
