Arsenal vs. Newcastle Preview

For the first time since the opening weekend of the season, Man City sit top of the English Premier League standings. Arsenal will be aiming to respond when they return to action for the first time since their defeat against City on Saturday, and a victory over Newcastle would take Mikel Arteta’s side back to the summit.

A potentially season-defining week awaits for Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, with the Gunners aiming to move back to the EPL summit on Saturday against Newcastle before traveling to Spain for their semi-final first leg against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday.

Arsenal have suffered back-to-back league defeats, allowing City to seize control in the title race. Arsenal’s weak mentality has cost them in title races in the last three seasons, and the fact that the Gunners average just 1.48 points per game under Arteta in the month of April is a major concern ahead of this weekend.

Team News:

Jurrien Timber (Ankle), Riccardo Calafiori (Knock), Bukayo Saka (Other)

Likely Line-Up:

(4-3-3): Raya (GK); White, Saliba, Gabriel, Hincapie; Rice, Zubimendi, Odegaard; Madueke, Havertz, Eze

Newcastle Stats & Team News

• Overall Record: 12-6-15
• Home Record: 8-2-7
• Road Record: 4-4-8

A damaging end to the season is proving costly for Newcastle. Eddie Howe’s long-term future at the club has been questioned after the Magpies have dropped to 14^th in the standings after losing three straight fixtures.

In fact, Newcastle have suffered defeats in eight of their last eleven, with no side in the Premier League having lost more frequently than the Magpies since the end of January. Despite their poor run of form, William Osula has been a standout player. The forward has scored in five games this season.

Team News:

Joelinton (Suspended), Anthony Gordon (Hip), Valentino Livramento (Thigh)

Likely Line-Up:

(4-3-3): Ramsdale (GK); Trippier, Thiaw, Botman, Hall; Miley, Ramsey, Tonali; Elanga, Osula, Barnes

Arsenal vs. Newcastle Prop Picks

A must-win clash for the Gunners will see additional pressure on their forward players. Viktor Gyokeres was brought in for big money in the summer for occasions just like this. The Swede could be the standout selection to score on Saturday after netting two in his previous three appearances.
