Coverage of the third-round fixture, which takes place at Emirates Stadium, as the holders take on Steve Bruce's Magpies. The Gunners have struggled badly in the Premier League so far this season, and may see this competition as a welcome distraction. The sides last met in this tournament at the fourth-round stage in 2008, when an Emmanuel Adebayor double and a Nicky Butt own goal sealed a routine 3-0 victory for Arsene Wenger's team.
