Arsenal vs Newcastle United Preview & Betting Tips - Gunners to gain revenge in EPL

On the other hand, Newcastle United have dodged defeat in their last four league games, winning two and drawing as many.

To make matters worse for Newcastle, the history books are also not backing them. They have not defeated the Gunners in any of their last 11 meetings at the Emirates. 

The Magpies last won at this venue in 2010. Newcastle have also failed to score in Arsenal’s backyard in the last seven Premier League visits, with their last goal coming in 2014.

The Magpies were on the brink of losing their 11th game of the season when they faced Bournemouth last weekend. Matt Ritchie rescued a point for Eddie Howe’s men with a 92nd-minute equalizer.

Newcastle’s away record has been quite subpar, as the club has won just three out of 12 away games, drawing two and losing seven.

Eddie Howe will still be without his primary strikers, Alexander Isak and Callum Wilson, as both players are out injured. 

Eddie Howe is struggling due to the long injury list and has to field the strongest eleven with what he has available. Anthony Gordon will likely retain his spot as the sole striker, with Harvey Barnes and Miguel Almiron on the flanks. Bruno Guimaraes will be responsible for creativity in the midfield.

Under Arteta, Arsenal have adapted to a high-pressure game plan. The club is always ready to hit the opponents on the counter, using the speed and agility of their attackers. 

Meanwhile, Howe’s Newcastle are physical and rely on possession-based football. The injuries have dropped their tempo, and the Magpies have relied on set pieces and long balls lately.

Considering the recent form of both teams, it is evident which one has the edge. A full-strength Newcastle United side could have caused problems for Arsenal, but the depleted squad is struggling, and hence, they are nothing but underdogs in this encounter. Arsenal only have to avoid complacency to ensure a win in this fixture.
