Newcastle v Arsenal

A crucial clash in the race for Champions League qualification sees Eddie Howe’s Newcastle travel to the Emirates with the hope of taking all three points off Arsenal, which would lift the Magpies into 2nd-place and all but confirm their participation in the Champions League next season. 

Arsenal have been prioritising the Champions League over the last weeks but this has put them in a situation where the chasing pack has caught up with Mikel Arteta’s side. Arsenal have won just one their last five Premier League matches and have also lost all three meetings with Newcastle this season, away in the league and both legs of their Carabao Cup semi-final.

⭐ Arsenal v Newcastle Best Bet

Eddie Howe has faced off against Mikel Arteta three times this season and has managed to tactically outclass him in each game. Newcastle haven’t even conceded a goal against the Gunners in their meetings this term. 

Arsenal’s performances in the Premier League have really taken a hit since the Gunners reached the latter stages of the Champions League. They’ve only won one of their last five Premier League matches, which came against Ipswich, and have also failed to win any of their last three games at the Emirates against Bournemouth, Crystal Palace and Brentford. 

Newcastle have avoided defeat in 12 of their 18 away games this season, they’re entering this clash in good nick having recently pulled off important wins against Chelsea, Crystal Palace and Manchester United. Their excellent record against Arsenal this season will help them from a psychological point of view, especially seeing as the Gunners are not the same formidable and motivated side that they faced in the previous meetings.

Newcastle have only lost one of their last 10 games across all competitions which was against Aston Villa. They’ve come out on top in eight of these games which is the type of form that can help them to secure Champions League football next season, and possibly even steal 2nd-place from Arsenal.

👕 Arsenal v Newcastle Predicted XI

🔍 Arsenal v Newcastle Players to Watch

⚫ Harvey Barnes

Harvey Barnes has been sensational in this final stretch of the season for Newcastle. He’s done an excellent job in deputising for Anthony Gordon who picked up an injury a few months ago and has now forced his way into the starting lineup, perhaps even alongside Gordon. Barnes has had 20 shots on target across his 31 Premier League appearances this season, 15 of those have been starts taking his average to 1.13 shots on target per 90.

This record has returned nine goals for the 27-year-old which is a positive return for the minutes he has played in the top-flight this season. He’s found the target in three of his last five Premier League appearances.

🔴 Myles Lewis-Skelly

It was surprising to see that Lewis-Skelly wasn’t nominated for the Premier League Young Player of the Year after his breakout season for Arsenal. One aspect of his game that has been really noticeable is his ability to win fouls. Lewis-Skelly lines up as a left back but often finds himself in central areas with his strength being a big contributor to him winning fouls. Lewis-Skelly has won 43 fouls across his 21 Premier League appearances this season (3.07 per 90).
