Here is your morning Arsenal digest on Saturday, November 4.
Jorginho vow
Arsenal holding midfielder Jorginho has vowed that Mikel Arteta's side will try and make Wednesday's 3-1 loss to West Ham United right on Saturday when they take on Newcastle. "Really tough one," the Italian told the club's website after the defeat to the Hammers.

"So that’s what I think we need to improve on for the next game to try and win there. It’s great that the game is in three days, because it’s a chance to turn things around, and turn this feeling because it’s not the best feeling of course.
"We can go and try to put things right.”
