Arsenal

LLWLDL

Arsenal will be hoping to bounce back here following a 2-1 Premier League loss in their previous game against Manchester City.

In that game, Arsenal had 41% possession and 9 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Arsenal was Kai Havertz (18'). For their opponents, Manchester City had 15 shots at goal with 5 of them 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 hoping to turn things around here.

In that game, Newcastle United managed 54% possession and 12 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. The scorer for Newcastle United was Will Osula (68'). At the other end, Bournemouth had 12 shots at goal with 3 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’s our opinion that The Gunners will probably kick off with a 4-2-3-1 formation this time, beginning the first half with David Raya, Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel, Piero Hincapie, Martin Zubimendi, Declan Rice, Noni Madueke, Martin Oedegaard, Eberechi Eze and Kai Havertz.

ℹ️ Team News: Newcastle United

Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has multiple availability issues to deal with. Fabian Schär (surgery) and Emil Krafth (Knee surgery) are not ready for selection. Joelinton is ineligible for this match because of suspension.

It’s our belief that The Magpies appear most likely to elect for a 3-5-2 lineup, going with 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.
