Arsenal – Leaders to Secure Another Three Points?
Arsenal missed out on the top four in agonizing fashion last season. After a damaging loss to Newcastle in their penultimate game, they were edged out in the race to fourth by fierce rivals Tottenham Hotspur on the final day of the season.
To say Arsenal has recovered would be the understatement of the century. The Londoners have made their best-ever start to a league campaign, as Arteta’s side has won a staggering 14 of their opening 16 Premier League games.
Arsenal moved seven points clear at the top of the table after the last batch of results. Manchester City was held at home by struggling Everton, while Newcastle could only manage a goalless home draw with Leeds United.
Arsenal made the pair pay with a superb attacking display against Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium. Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Martinelli were on target in a 4-2 win.
This term, Arsenal has a perfect 100% record at the Emirates in the Premier League, winning seven out of seven. Along the way, they scored 22 goals and shipped just eight times in front of their fans.
Will the Gunners chalk up another precious three points as they hunt down their first Premier League title since 2004? Read on for our Arsenal prediction and picks.
Arsenal Projected Lineup: Ramsdale, White, Gabriel, Saliba, Zinchenko, Partey, Odegaard, Xhaka, Saka, Martinelli, Nketiah.
Arsenal Injuries: Nelson, Jesus, Smith-Rowe.
Newcastle United – Can the Magpies Keep Up Unbeaten Run?
Since the long-awaited financial takeover was completed, Newcastle United has been heading up. However, not many could have predicted how competitive Eddie Howe’s men have been.
United are serious top-four candidates after collecting an impressive 34 points from 17 games. Howe’s men have been incredibly hard to beat, with only Liverpool getting the better of them so far. They have won nine and drawn seven of the other 16.
Since that narrow reverse at Anfield, Newcastle has put together an outstanding 12-game undefeated run in the Premier League, including six wins in a row from October to December.
Newcastle returned from the 2022 FIFA World Cup break with a 3-0 victory at Leicester City on Boxing Day. However, their winning run was ended by Leeds last time out, with the Whites holding the Magpies to a 0-0 draw at St James’ Park.
Newcastle has won their last three away from home in the league and has taken 13 points from a possible 15 since the Liverpool loss.
Newcastle is a more than capable outfit these days, and Howe’s troops will back themselves to keep up their fine form with a positive result at the Emirates on Tuesday. Take a look at our Arsenal vs Newcastle picks and tips.
Newcastle United Projected Lineup: Pope, Trippier, Botman, Schar, Burn, Willock, Longstaff, Guimaraes, Joelinton, Wilson, Almiron.
Newcastle United Injuries: Isak, Krafth, Shelvey, Targett, Dummett.
Arsenal vs. Newcastle United Pick and Prediction
Before a ball was kicked this season, not many would have had Arsenal as their EPL picks to win the title. The same can be said for Newcastle and their Champions League qualification hopes.
Both have punched above their weight, but nobody can argue with their current league positions. Arsenal has been incredibly consistent, while Newcastle has suffered just one loss across all competitions.
The visitors are a tough nut to crack these days, with United shipping just six away league goals. However, the Gunners have been faultless at home, and we fancy Arteta’s troops to steal the points on home soil.
This will surely be a tight and tense affair in terms of the scoreline. Take a punt on Arsenal to win by one goal at +275. Also, you can get +260 for the home victory and for both teams to score.
