Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says they can handle Newcastle's time-wasting tactics ahead of tonight's clash.
Despite their protests, last season Newcastle ranked bottom of the league for taking a goal kick after the ball goes out, averaging 36.8 seconds.
Arteta said: "We are so used to (these) things that we do as well.
"Every team tries to use tactics to manage the game in the right way.
"It's not something new and we are trying to get better at everything, and tomorrow this will be something minimal in the course of the game."
On facing Newcastle at St James' Park, Arteta continued: "(It's) a big one,' he said. 'It's one of the toughest places to go and win but we've done it. There is nothing new to it.
"You want to play in those atmospheres, like going to Seville you know what you're going to get. It's an incredible privilege to play in those grounds, and you have to embrace the moment and enjoy it and go for it because it's worth it.
"It's an incredible football atmosphere."
