Arsenal is back in the title race, and the Gunners look pretty serious about it. They await Newcastle, whose big dreams vanished following a solid start of the season. The Magpies are in the middle of the standings but eager to bring damage to any of the top English teams.
Arsenal News
A loss against Porto was the first for the Gunners after five straight wins in which they dominated. During this span, Mikel Arteta’s unit defeated Palace, Nottingham Forest, Liverpool, West Ham, and Burnley, scoring 21 times while conceding only twice.
However, they weren’t that efficient at Dragao, where, despite having the ball more in their possession, Arsenal failed to create notable chances and endanger Porto. When playing at home, Arsenal looks very confident. In 12 Premiership events at the Emirates, we’ve seen them winning nine times, with two ties and one loss, scoring 30 and conceding 11 goals.
Newcastle News
The Magpies are eighth in the standings with 10 points fewer than the zone that leads to the European competitions. They are one of the most interesting teams to watch in the Premiership, with 94 goals in total in their meetings, which is the most in the entire league.
Eddie Howe’s boys haven’t lost in the past five meetings, winning three of them, and the previous four ended with at least four goals with hits on both ends of the field. Unlike the start of the year when their matches didn’t bring this much goals, the situation is different now.

Arsenal vs. Newcastle Betting Tip
Arsenal is tired, but that can’t and won’t be an alibi for this unit. The Gunners need to be offensive-minded and attack, otherwise, points might not stay in London. Newcastle plays without pressure these days, which results in high efficiency, and they won’t be too cautious at the Emirates. All this should result in at least three goals.- Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
