Arsenal are looking to keep their 2025-26 Premier League title dreams alive when Newcastle visit the Emirates Stadium on Saturday evening.
Two consecutive top-flight defeats have heaped pressure on manager Mikel Arteta and his wounded soldiers.

Arsenal vs Newcastle Preview
Recent results
Arsenal’s 2-1 loss at Manchester City last Sunday made it four consecutive domestic defeats, with a 2-1 loss to Bournemouth suffered in the previous home league match. If the Gunners are to stand any chance of winning the title, their form has to change – and fast!
Things are not looking great from Newcastle’s perspective either. Last weekend’s 2-1 home loss vs Bournemouth made it three successive defeats for the Magpies following recent failures against Sunderland (1-2) and Crystal Palace (2-1). It is perhaps no wonder that Eddie Howe’s future is the subject of much speculation.
Head-to-head record
Arsenal won the reverse fixture at St James’ Park 2-1 thanks to two late goals from Mikel Merino and Gabriel Magalhaes.
The Gunners also won the league fixture at the Emirates last season 1-0 courtesy of a brilliant strike from Declan Rice.
Newcastle’s sole league victory at the Emirates was recorded way back in 2010, though the Magpies did win 2-0 at the stadium in last season’s EFL Cup semi-finals.
Team news
Bukayo Saka is expected to miss out for Arsenal again, while Merino is unlikely to return any time soon. Riccardo Calafiori and Jurrien Timber remain touch-and-go.
Joelinton is suspended for Newcastle after collecting 10 yellow cards, while Anthony Gordon and Tino Livramento are major doubts. Emil Krafth and Fabian Schar will be absent once again.
Arsenal vs Newcastle Odds
*All odds are subject to change

Arsenal vs Newcastle Betting Tips
Both teams to score – Yes @ 1.68
This selection has landed in each of Arsenal’s last two league fixtures, and we fancy the trend to continue here. Defensively, the Gunners have regressed in recent weeks, while Newcastle have scored at least one goal in their last 18 matches – with this BTTS pick landing in all but one of them.
Total goals – Over 2.5 @ 1.52
Whenever Newcastle are involved, the over 2.5 goals market feels like the avenue to go down. That is because it has been a winner in nine of their previous 10 Premier League matches, as well as in four of Arsenal’s last five top-flight home matches. So while the odds for a single bet are not the best, this looks a great candidate for a combo bet – or Bet Builder!
Anytime goalscorer – Kai Havertz @ 2.50
Havertz was tasked with leading the line against City and performed very well, scoring Arsenal’s goal on the day. The German is clearly better suited to being a centre forward rather than a midfielder, and we would be shocked if Arteta opts to not deploy him in an identical role vs Newcastle – even if Viktor Gyokeres is the club’s top scorer! And if that materialises, Havertz can make it three goals in five appearances, having netted the crucial winner at Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League quarter-finals.
