Arsenal v Newcastle Preview

Arsenal’s Form

Arsenal are in serious league form with 5 wins from their last 5 matches along with 21 goals scored and only 2 conceded. They may just be coming into a run of form at the right time to win their first Premier League title since 2004. Furthermore, their Expected Points total has them 2nd with 52.58 points, behind only Man City on 54.09. That suggests that there’s a sustainable level to their results and performances.

Midweek, Arsenal slumped to a 1-0 defeat against Porto in the Champions League, where they uncharacteristically had only 7 shots and an XG of 0.42 with 65% possession as they failed to properly penetrate Porto’s defence. The previous Saturday they hammered Burnley 0-5, scoring those goals from an XG of 2.21 showing how clinical they can be.

With Liverpool preoccupied with the Carabao Cup Final on Sunday, Arsenal can go within 2 points of them with a win in this game.

Newcastle’s Form

Newcastle are in decent albeit unspectacular form. They are below their expectations after last season with 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat from their last 5 league games. Most notably scoring 14 goals but also conceding 12 which is disappointing since they have built their recent rise off of a solid defensive structure. Although their underlying numbers suggest that they’re stronger than the actual table suggests with them 5th on 41.27 points,

Last weekend, Newcastle had a dramatic 2-2 draw against Bournemouth when a late 92nd-minute equaliser through Matt Ritchie, who had only been on the pitch a minute, rescued the draw for Newcastle! It was arguably a fair result though with Newcastle accumulating an XG of 2.38 to their opponent’s 2.08.

Newcastle know a victory could see them rise back up to 7th in the table.

Key Players To Watch

Bukayo Saka – Arsenal

The world class Saka (22) has been going from strength to strength in these last two seasons and is now integral to everything good about Arsenal. Last weekend he put in another brilliant performance scoring a brace vs Burnley.

From 33 matches in all competitions this season he has scored 15 goals and provided 13 assists.

Bruno Guimaraes – Newcastle

The Brazilian midfielder is one of the best in the league and could be destined for an even bigger move if Newcastle can’t match his expectations.

Not surprising for a Brazilian, he is an elite dribbler and passer when compared to other central midfielders. His 1.58 Successful Take-Ons Per 90 puts him in the 91st percentile and his 7.06 Progressive Passes in the 87th percentile, making him the club’s best chance at creating scoring opportunities from minimal expected chances.

Arsenal v Newcastle Prediction & Best Bet

Prediction: Arsenal 3-0 Newcastle

Arsenal had an uncharacteristically poor showing midweek against Porto, but their overall form in the league in recent weeks has been nothing short of rampant as they look to stamp their authority further in the league.

While Newcastle are not quite performing at the levels of last season their late equaliser last weekend suggests there remains grit and resilience in them

Arsenal should see off Newcastle comfortably.

Best Bet: Arsenal Win + Under 3.5 Goals @ 11/8
