Top-Two Tussle: Will Newcastle Upset Arsenal’s Title Ambitions at the Emirates?
Arsenal vs Newcastle Premier League Prediction Match Details
With two games left in the Premier League, Arsenal and Newcastle United will battle it out on Sunday at the Emirates Stadium in the battle for Champions League football. Can the Magpies knock the Gunners from the second spot?
Arsenal Preview & Form
Arsenal will head into this weekend's Premier League games desperately seeking to end their recent terrible run of form. The Gunners have now gone five consecutive games across all competitions without a win, losing three games in a row and drawing twice. Mikel Arteta's men will need to bounce back from their winless streak to avoid losing their second position in the Premier League, as only one point separates them from their opponent, Newcastle United. Last weekend, Mikel Arteta's men produced a dramatic second-half fightback to rescue a 2-2 draw against Premier League champions Liverpool at Anfield thanks to Martinelli and Merino's second-half goals. The Gunners sit second in the Premier League standings with 68 points from 36 games, two points behind third-place Newcastle.
Despite a trophyless season, Mikel Arteta's team still has the best home record in the league, with the Gunners only suffering one defeat in their 20 Premier League home games so far. However, the Gunners are winless in their last three consecutive Premier League home games, with each of the games producing both teams finding the back of the net.
Every word from Arteta's pre-Newcastle presser.
Newcastle United Preview & Form
Newcastle United will make the journey to the capital on the back of a buoyant form, with the Magpies having now won seven of their last nine Premier League games, losing just once and also drawing once during the run. Last weekend, the Magpies claimed a vital 2-0 victory over Chelsea at St. James' Park, with the victory boosting their chances in the race for UEFA Champions League football. They will now head into this weekend's games sitting third in the league standings with 66 points, just a point behind second-place Arsenal.
Eddie Howe's men have been in a mixed run of form in their away games, having failed to win any of their last two road games, losing 4-1 to Aston Villa and playing a 1-1 draw against Brighton. They have scored in 15 of their 18 away matches.
Howe urges focus ahead of Arsenal trip.
