Arsenal

LLWLDL

Arsenal will be looking to improve on their last outing here after a 2-1 Premier League defeat in their last game at the hands of Manchester City.

In that match, Arsenal had 41% possession and 9 shots on goal with 3 on target. The scorer for Arsenal was Kai Havertz (18'). For their opponents, Manchester City had 15 attempts on goal with 5 on target. Rayan Cherki (16') and Erling Haaland (65') scored for Manchester City.

Arsenal have not been in good attacking form in more recent games. Their sum of goals equals just 4 against opposing sides during the course of their previous six outings. In those meetings, Arsenal have also seen the number of goals scored against them come to 8. We shall soon see whether or not that trend will end up being continued on in this game.

Heading into this contest, Arsenal have not lost a league tie with Newcastle United in their previous 2 matches.

Newcastle United

DWLLLL 📉

Since tasting defeat last time out to Bournemouth in Premier League action, Newcastle United will be aiming to make amends here.

In that game, Newcastle United managed 54% possession and 12 shots at goal with 3 on target. The scorer for Newcastle United was Will Osula (68'). On the other side, Bournemouth had 12 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. Marcus Tavernier (32') and Adrien Truffert (85') scored for Bournemouth.

Proving their bias toward eventful encounters, the back of the net has been hit 21 times in the previous six matches in which Newcastle United have taken to the pitch, making it an average of 3.5 goals per fixture. Their opponents have hit 14 of those goals.

Heading into this fixture, Newcastle United are winless against Arsenal when having played them away from home in the previous 13 matches in the league. Terrible.

📰 Team News: Arsenal

It seems likely that The Gunners will probably make use of the 4-2-3-1 formation this time, utilising David Raya, Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel, Piero Hincapie, Martin Zubimendi, Declan Rice, Noni Madueke, Martin Oedegaard, Eberechi Eze and Kai Havertz.

🗞️ Team News: Newcastle United

Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe has a number of players out of action. Fabian Schär (surgery) and Emil Krafth (Knee surgery) will not be playing here. Joelinton will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

There’s a good chance that The Magpies could decide to make use of a 3-5-2 system, settling for Nick Pope, Malick Thiaw, Sven Botman, Daniel Burn, Kieran Trippier, Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali, Lewis Miley, Lewis Hall, Anthony Elanga and William Osula.

💡 Prediction

We feel that in this game, Newcastle United have the capability to find the net against this Arsenal lineup, but that might not be enough to avoid a loss.

We’re tipping both teams to score in a 2-1 victory for Arsenal by the conclusion of the game. There looks to be little in this one.
