Newcastle United is in for a tough match as Arsenal rolls into town, with the Gunners looking like the favorites to snag the points. The Magpies are having a rough time, with back-to-back Premier League losses and just one win in their last four matches across all competitions. To make matters worse, they haven’t won in five league games, landing them in 12th place—way off their preseason goals.

On the flip side, Arsenal is riding high. They’ve won six of their last eight matches, and even though they drew 2-2 with Liverpool, they’re still six points ahead of Newcastle in the standings. However, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will be missing some key players, including center-back Gabriel Magalhães, as they head north to St. James’ Park, where they’ve won four of their last six visits.

Current Form

Newcastle’s struggles are clear with just one win in their last four, while Arsenal has racked up six wins out of eight. With the Gunners showing consistency, betting on an Arsenal win seems like a solid choice, especially with the odds in their favor.

Players to Watch

Alexander Isak (Newcastle): Isak hasn’t scored against Arsenal yet, but he’s been solid against London clubs this season. He’ll be eager to change that, especially since Newcastle hasn’t found the net in the first 30 minutes of any Premier League game this season.

Bukayo Saka (Arsenal): Saka is on fire, scoring in each of his last three starts. His creativity and finishing will be key, especially with Arsenal’s defense a bit shaky.

With Arsenal favored by form and stats, and Newcastle’s recent struggles leaving fans on edge, this matchup promises a mix of pressure and excitement. Check out the latest odds and back your pick for a big win at St. James’ Park!
