Steve Bennett To Ref Arsenal Game

The last time the Orpington-based official took charge of a Newcastle game was in the 1-0 defeat to Tottenham at White Hart Lane - Amdy Faye and Shola Ameobi both picking up yellow cards during that game.

Mr A Garratt and Mr J Holbrook will be Steve Bennett's assistants for the game at Highbury on Sunday lunchtime.
