Newcastle United vs Arsenal

Newcastle United host Arsenal in an English Premier League fixture on Sunday, with both teams looking to build on midweek cup wins.

Both sides have had their moments this season and could be set for a closely fought contest. However, the Gunners often struggle at St James' Park, and the hosts can do enough to avoid defeat in this one.

Newcastle United News

There are a few positives for Newcastle United this season, having only lost once in five Premier League matches. However, Eddie Howe’s team have also picked up just one win in the league and will be keen to improve their record.

Newcastle United head into this clash off the back of a 4-1 victory over Bradford City in a midweek EFL Cup clash. That was a fine return to winning ways after being held to a 0-0 draw at Bournemouth in their previous Premier League fixture.

The Magpies are still coming to terms with a new forward line, but have scored in their last four home matches. However, they are without a clean sheet in three of those matches, all of which have produced more goals after the break.

Arsenal News

Arsenal lost ground on leaders Liverpool after being held to a 1-1 home draw by Manchester City last time out in the Premier League. They are now five points behind the champions and will look to avoid falling further back.

The Gunners are also coming off an EFL Cup victory, having claimed a 2-0 win at Port Vale in midweek. That result maintains a solid record on the road for Mikel Arteta's team, who are unbeaten in five of their last six away matches across all competitions.

Arsenal have scored in six of their last seven matches across all competitions, but have conceded against teams like Manchester City and Liverpool. Four of their last six matches across all competitions have produced more goals after the break.

Head to Head

Arsenal have six wins while Newcastle United have been victorious five times, with just one draw from the last 12 matches. The Magpies beat the Gunners three times last season in the league and EFL Cup, but suffered a 1-0 away defeat back in May.

Verdict

Newcastle v Arsenal

Newcastle United have become a bogey team for Arsenal and will be keen to improve their record in this fixture. The Magpies are unbeaten in four of the last five home meetings and can earn a win or draw on Sunday.

Both teams have shown flashes of attacking quality and could be backed to score here. Both sides also have a habit of leaving things late and could be set to offer up more goals after the break.
