8 - Goals Scored By Olivier Giroud In 6 Games Against NUFC
If there's one Premier League player that the Newcastle United back five have not enjoyed playing against over the past few seasons then it would almost certainly be Olivier Giroud. Since his first appearance for The Gunners against NUFC back on December 29th 2012 - when he netted twice in Arsenal's 7-3 demolition of Newcastle at The Emirates - the French forward has scored eight goals in six matches against the Magpies in all. In fact, he has only failed to score against Newcastle once, and he netted four times in two matches against Newcastle last season. Can Steve McClaren and his backroom staff finally find a way to stop the ex-Montpellier man this time around?
