Wounded Arsenal head to Dubai hoping history will repeat itself after Newcastle setback This was a night that belonged to Newcastle, but there is still time for it to be Arsenal’s season.
Such a break proved transformative last year, with Arsenal returning from Dubai to win 16 of their final 18 Premier League games.
Arsenal are off to Dubai - but like Newcastle they can still dream that this season can end with a trophy.
Arsenal, rightly, had no desire to be part of the party as the Newcastle squad embarked on a lap of honour after a 2-0 win that secured them a place in the Carabao Cup Final.
I think it’s good in the middle of the season with so much going on, so we have to go there and make sure we get a good amount of rest, work hard as well.”.
