Loic Remy has said that he expects Arsenal to be "a little bit scared" when they face Newcastle United this weekend.

The Magpies are unbeaten in their last four Premier League matches, with three of those games resulting in wins.

The striker, who is the club's top scorer so far this season, told the team's official website: "I think we're definitely improving match by match but we can't give up on that, we know Sunday's going to be even harder for us. I think if we can go out and do well against Arsenal, it will be fantastic.

"It will be a really hard game, however I think Arsenal also will be a little bit scared of us when they look at our position and how well we're playing at the moment.

"[Arsenal's record goalscorer Thierry Henry] was one of my idols when I was growing up so it's quite a special match for me, I have to admit, but you need to remember that every game is important for us, especially these massive games like on Sunday where you've got two really top teams going against each other."

Arsenal top the table ahead of this afternoon's games, while Newcastle current sit sixth.
