Arsenal

WDLLLD

Arsenal head into this match after a 2-2 Premier League draw against Liverpool.

In that match, Arsenal had 56% possession and 15 attempts at goal with 7 on target. For Arsenal, the goalscorers were Gabriel Martinelli (47') and Mikel Merino (70'). Liverpool had 14 shots at goal with 5 of them on target. Cody Gakpo (20') and Luis Díaz (21') scored for Liverpool.

It’s been all too rare in recent games where Arsenal have shown defensive steel. The reality is that Arsenal have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, shipping 9 goals along the way. We will see if that trend will end up being sustained here.

Going into this encounter, Arsenal are without a home win in the past 3 league matches.

Newcastle United

WWLWDW

Newcastle United will come into the game after a 2-0 Premier League win against Chelsea in their previous game.

In that match, Newcastle United had 45% possession and 15 attempts on goal with 6 on target. For Newcastle United, the scorers were Sandro Tonali (2') and Bruno Guimarães (90'). On the other side, Chelsea had 10 shots on goal with 3 on target.

Indicating their involvement in high-scoring matches, we’ve had goals 22 times in the prior six games in which Newcastle United have taken to the pitch, making it a mean average of 3.67 goals each fixture. Opposing teams have hit 6 from this total.

Looking at their past form shows that Newcastle United:

• haven't beaten Arsenal when having played them away from home in the previous 12 league games. Very poor away form.
• have not won away from home in their last 2 matches in the league.

🤜🤛 Head to head

Looking at their most recent head-to-head clashes stretching back to 07/05/2023 tells us that Arsenal have won 2 of these and Newcastle United 4, with the number of draws standing at 0.

A combined sum of 13 goals were yielded between them throughout the course of those matches, with 6 from The Gunners and 7 coming from The Magpies. That’s an average goals per game figure of 2.17.

🗞️ Team News: Arsenal

Kai Havertz (Hamstring injury), Gabriel Magalhães (Hamstring injury), Takehiro Tomiyasu (Knee surgery) and Gabriel Jesus (Cruciate ligament tear) are not available for Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta.

It’s our opinion that The Gunners could opt for a 4-3-3 system for this one with David Raya, Ben White, William Saliba, Jakub Kiwior, Riccardo Calafiori, Martin Ødegaard, Thomas Partey, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Bukayo Saka, Ethan Nwaneri and Gabriel Martinelli.

📋 Team News: Newcastle United

Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe has to choose a team with limited availability. Joelinton (Knee problems), Jamaal Lascelles (Fitness), Matt Targett (Hamstring injury) and Lewis Hall (Ankle surgery) miss out here.

It’s our belief that The Magpies could decide to play in a 4-3-3 formation, giving starts to Nick Pope, Sven Botman, Fabian Schär, Dan Burn, Valentino Livramento, Bruno Guimarães, Sandro Tonali, Anthony Gordon, Jacob Murphy, Alexander Isak and Harvey Barnes.

💭 Prediction

Our assessment here is that Newcastle United will really need to work well to see themselves scoring against this Arsenal team who we think will manage to get a goal of their own in a winning performance.

Our tip is therefore for a narrow 1-0 advantage for Arsenal when the full-time whistle blows.

Should be a close one.

📚 ⚽️ What are the best odds for the game?

In terms of the bookies’ odds in the WDW market, staking on Arsenal is best priced at 1.95, backing a draw is 3.6 and taking a punt on the winning team to be Newcastle United can get you 3.7. Those are the best of the returns offered as of now.
