Arsenal vs Newcastle United. Shape of the Teams

The title race is on – Klopp’s Liverpool has already truned up the heat on Manchester City and Arsenal after their recent 4-1 win against Luton Town.

Arsenal will be hosting Newcastle United at the Emirates while Manchester City gears up for an away game against Bournemouth. Both teams need to win to maintain a tight gap in the points race.

This is especially true for Arsenal, who are in the spotlight for their impressive form in the Premier League, having just steamrolled Burnley and West Ham with resounding victories of 5-0 and 6-0 in Arsenal’s favour.

However, there is a major ‘but’’. Portuguese teams seem to be Arteta’s kryptonite. This was proven again in this week’s Champions League match, in which they lost 1-0 away against Porto.

What’s even worse, the London-based team failed to register a single shot on target. This comes after last season’s elimination in Europe against Sporting Lisbon. This now puts Arteta in an uncomfortable position, and Arsenal will be eager to continue their excellent streak in the Premier League streak.

On Newcastle’s end, the Premier League outlook looks rather grim. After their exit from Europe in the Champions League’s Group of Death, Newcastle is yet to score a clean sheet in 2024 in the Premier League, which is mildly worrying.

Isak is doubtful for the clash, and Newcastle’s record against the top six is rather abysmal, with their recent victory against Aston Villa (3-1) being the exception to the rule. Tomorrow, at the Emirates, it seems improbable to see Newcastle, currently eighth in the Premier League, find any positive result.

Arsenal vs Newcastle United, Prediction, Odds

Pick: Arsenal to win
Odds: -251 (Tonybet)

The betting odds are not lying on this one. Arsenal is the undisputed favourite. Newcastle has dropped to eighth place following a 2-2 stalemate against Bournemouth. Against a team as proactive as Arsenal, it is tough to see Newcastle find an exit from the intense pressure the lads will face at home.

Gabriel Jesus is doubtful for this game, which probably means Kai Havertz will start instead. With his aerial prowess, he’s expected to be a threat against Fabian Schär in the penalty area.

Not the result we wanted, but always thankful for your unwavering support.

More importantly, the 0-1 fiasco vs Porto serves as a stark reminder for Arsenal of the journey ahead towards refinement and consistency. With this in mind, they should find a comfortable lead against Newcastle.

Most of the previous encounters at the Emirates have tipped in Arsenal’s favour. With Newcastle missing key players like Isak, Willock, and Callum Wilson, the scales are even more heavily tilted towards an Arsenal victory.

Arsenal vs Newcastle United Betting Tip

Pick: Arsenal to lead by a two-goal margin
Odds: +330 (Tonybet)

I would be damned to see Arsenal not dominate this tie. Arteta’s men enjoy the presence of Martinelli and Buyako Saka on the flanks. Martinelli, in particular, has been hitting more than reasonable figures. And very few things suggest his form will not continue.

With Kai Havertz dominating his man in the middle, Newcastle cannot afford to double up on Buyako Saka. This justifies the idea that a two-goal margin is not out of Arsenal’s reach, especially considering that Jorginho is expected to start, who single-handedly stops most attacks through his interceptions.

Expectedly, with Ødegaard probably taking up a higher role in the right half-space, this should easily overload Newcastle’s defence, which has shown vulnerabilities for quite a few weeks.
