Newcastle United
Eddie Howe's charges are currently content with a mid-table position. The team has slipped several places after a 5-match winless streak in the league (2 draws and 3 losses). Newcastle approaches the upcoming round with two consecutive losses: first, they were defeated at home by Brighton (0:1), and then they were bested away by Chelsea (1:2). It's worth noting that in their last five Premier League encounters, the club has not scored more than one goal in any match.
Defenders Jamaal Lascelles, Kieran Trippier, and Sven Botman, striker Callum Wilson, and goalkeeper Martin Dubravka are all continuing their recoveries from injuries.
- Both teams have scored in 6 out of Newcastle's last 8 league games.
- Before the loss to Brighton, the club had gone 11 consecutive home matches without defeat in the EPL (6 wins and 5 draws).
- In their last six Premier League encounters, Howe's men have scored only one goal in the first 45 minutes.
Arsenal
For the first time this calendar year, the Gunners have failed to win two consecutive league matches. The club lost away to Bournemouth (0:2) and also drew at home with Liverpool (2:2). As a result, the Londoners are only in third place and are five points behind the leaders, Manchester City.
Defenders Jurrien Timber, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Gabriel Magalhaes, Riccardo Calafiori, and Kieran Tierney will all miss the match due to injuries.
- The number '2' has appeared in the final score in 7 out of Arsenal's last 10 league games.
- The Gunners have claimed 11 victories in their last 15 EPL matches (3 draws and 1 loss).
- Before the loss to Bournemouth, the Londoners had not been defeated in 12 consecutive away Premier League matches (10 wins and 2 draws).
Newcastle United vs. Arsenal: Match Prediction
In head-to-head confrontations, there is a huge advantage on the side of the London club. In the previous 23 league meetings, the Gunners have 19 wins, one draw, and three losses. After dropping a few points, Mikel Arteta's men will be aiming exclusively for a win, but I do not expect an easy victory for them. I would not risk taking Arsenal's outright win, as Newcastle also desperately needs points. The club has significantly fallen behind the European qualification zone, so Eddie Howe's men will also be fighting for a positive result. I assume that the opponents will exchange goals in this encounter. Newcastle has scored in 22 out of their previous 23 home games in the Premier League. The Londoners, in turn, have scored in 13 out of their last 15 away league matches.
My prediction is "Double Chance: Arsenal or Draw and Both Teams to Score – Yes" with odds of 2.15.
