Arsenal will continue its quest for EPL title won last in 2004when it confronts Newcastle in the first game of the new year.Arsenal beat Bournemouth two nil last night,while Newcastle lost.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has urged his Premier League leaders not to let their focus wander as they begin 2016 against Newcastle United on Saturday.

Wenger's men top the table on goal difference from Leicester City and head into the New Year on the back of an impressive 2015, which has seen them win the most points (81) and matches (25) in the division.

Arsenal have been top four times going into the New Year during the Premier League era but have closed out their title challenge on just one of those occasions in 2002.

"Being top on goal difference doesn't make a big difference, it is just down to how well you play," Wenger said. "Your performances dictate all that and you have to be guided by your performances.

"After that it is reassuring to know that if your performances are right you do not need bad results from somebody else. That is one less stress.

"Once you are first you can just focus on your performance. I heard last night the cliche that nobody wants to win this league.

"I can say as well that everybody wants to win it. And if you were in the game you would think that's not the case - everybody wants to win it but it's difficult."

Wenger could have Mathieu Flamini (ankle) back, although Mikel Arteta (fitness) and Alexis Sanchez (hamstring) remain out as Arsenal target a ninth consecutive Premier League win over struggling Newcastle, who sit third-bottom after back-to-back defeats to Everton and West Brom.

While Arsenal have enjoyed a strong 2015, Newcastle head coach Steve McClaren is eager for the club to move on from a chaotic year on Tyneside.

Arsenal vs Newcastle games always remind me of that 4-4 draw horror we played years back. Trust my boys sha, we'll grab all three points just like we did at saint James earlier this season. #COYG
