Eddie Howe on facing Arsenal: \u201cI think Arsenal last year speaks for itself in what they achieved, they were so close to winning the league and then in the summer they recruited really well.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe obvious player who\u2019s such an impressive player and individual is Declan Rice, when you add him to their midfield he\u2019s got unique qualities so I think they\u2019ve moved on from last year and I think they\u2019ve mentally moved on from what happened.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019ve performed very well, they\u2019re unbeaten. It\u2019s a big test of our credentials and we\u2019re looking forward to the game, but Mikel\u2019s done a brilliant job there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe praised a \u201cbrilliant team effort\u201d following their midweek win against Manchester United in the Carabao Cup.<\/p>\n
With injuries to several players, Howe made eight changes for the game which saw the Magpies progress to the quarter-finals of the competition with a comfortable 3-0 victory at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
Among the changes was Joe Willock, who returned to the squad and scored a goal, while Emil Krafth started his first game after a 14-month lay-off with injury.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was great to give everyone an opportunity and I think they responded magnificently,\u201d Howe said. \u201cIt was a brilliant team effort, I thought the spirit, determination and collective mindset was of the highest level.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome players who haven\u2019t played for a long time gave some huge performances, I\u2019m thinking Emil Krafth 14 months out with a long-term injury, what a return and also playing at centre-back.<\/p>\n
\u201cJoe Willock\u2019s first start in a long time and he topped it with a goal, so really good stories.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re in a good place mentally after that win, I think the whole squad will be lifted by that performance.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think, yes, we\u2019re going to miss the players who are out injured, there\u2019s no denying that. A lot of those players are in attacking positions so that leaves us slightly short in those areas.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut certainly defensively with those players who came in, it was great to see the team not affected by the changes, it was a Newcastle performance which is what we asked for before the game.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mikel Arteta took the blame for Arsenal\u2019s painful 3-1 Carabao Cup defeat at West Ham and said will look to bounce back against Newcastle today.<\/p>\n
Arteta made six changes to his line-up for the fourth-round clash, starting with Declan Rice on the bench on his Hammers homecoming.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m very disappointed,\u201d said Gunners boss Arteta. \u201cI\u2019m responsible for that, we\u2019re out of the cup, we wanted to play a very different game and compete.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe game took a direction because of the first goal but we have to see much more from the team and earn the right to win.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m disappointed with myself. We wanted to play in a different way and we weren\u2019t able to do that. Every time we lose the pain is there.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have to use this pain and this defeat to prepare the best way for Newcastle on Saturday.\u201d<\/p>\n
