Newcastle vs Arsenal Preview

Newcastle United continue to pinch themselves. It’s been one of the best turnarounds in football. Eddie Howe has completely revolutionised the whole football club, changing the outlook from top to bottom. From improving players and tactics, to the minute details that make such a difference, it’s all happening and things are falling into place.

They eased past Manchester United on Wednesday evening. It was a result that wasn’t shocking at all and left United in complete turmoil. It also exemplified the great job Eddie Howe continues to do at Newcastle and they are now one of the favourites to go on and win the EFL Cup.

One of the things that’s so impressive at Newcastle is the style, the defensive quality, and the ability to take on the big guns. They’re thrashing of PSG is a great example of just how far they’ve come. Although this weekend will be a tough task, they will now back themselves and know that they can take down some of the biggest names in football.

They are also defensively unbelievable. It was another clean sheet against Manchester United. This weekend, they’ll be hoping that in front of their home crowds, they can keep the door shut.

In contrast, Arsenal were not at the races against West Ham. The North London side put on a poor display. After beating Manchester City in the league, everyone thought that this would be the time for them to kick on. But since then, they haven’t quite hit those heights.

Although they smashed Sheffield United at home last weekend, it wasn’t a result that told us much about this Arsenal side. They know that traveling to Newcastle is a completely different kettle of fish.

It was surprising how frail Arsenal looked against West Ham. Although it wasn’t their full-strength side, there was still plenty of quality in there and you would have expected them to come away with a win. But Arsenal did manage to win this fixture last year. And before that, they have always managed to get past Newcastle and get the results needed, whether that’s home or away.

One thing that remains to be squashed is the goalkeeping issue. Will Mikel Arteta continue to swap and rotate his goalkeepers or will he give Aaron Ramsdale a chance for a prolonged period?

Latest Premier League Betting Odds

Arsenal come into this one as favourites by a hair at 2.54. Although they had a disappointing result mid-week, we all know the quality they possess, and it won’t take much for them to turn things around and get back to winning ways.

But Newcastle are always really good in front of their home crowd. They are 2.69 to win at home and continue a fantastic run of games. The draw is placed at 3.28.

In terms of goalscorers, Callum Wilson is favourite to score first at 5.70, with Alexander Isak next at 6.60. The favoured Arsenal player to break the deadlock is the in-form Eddie Nketiah at 7.30.

Newcastle vs Arsenal Betting Tips

Bet Builder: Under 3.5 goals and each team to have 2.5+ corners @ 3.80

Both Arsenal and Newcastle have impressive defensive records, so it’s unlikely there will be bags of goals in this one. It could well be a low-scoring game and a tactical battle between two top managers.

Bet Builder: Newcastle to win, both teams to score, and under 4.5 goals @ 8.00

Newcastle look like one of the best sides in the league and will want to gain some points back this weekend. Both sides sides have the quality to score, but there won’t be too many goals with their defensive abilities.

First goalscorer: Anthony Gordon @ 8.50

It’s been an incredible start to life at Newcastle for Gordon. He’s been one of their star men and the only thing missing is goals. He was once again unlucky in mid-week not to grab a goal. It could be his turn to open the scoring and continue his great form.
