Match Preview
Arsenal’s title dreams hang in the balance as we approach matchday ten in the Premier League. The Gunners have failed to win in three of their last five, and they have picked up just one point from the last nine available. That leaves Mikel Arteta’s side trailing Man City by five points.
Newcastle will also be chasing a response this week after losing ground on the European positions. The Magpies have failed to win in their last five, and they have suffered successive defeats.
However, Newcastle’s chances will be boosted based on their recent positive home record against the Gunners. The Magpies have won two of the last three, which includes a 1-0 success in this exact fixture last term.

Newcastle’s current run of five without a win is their longest wait for a Premier League win since going six without a victory between August and September 2022. The Magpies also lost their last match at St. James’ Park against Brighton, which ended an eleven-game unbeaten sequence.
It was also the first time in 23 home matches in which Newcastle failed to score in a home match. They haven’t gone two successive matches at St. James’ Park without scoring since February 2020.
Arsenal have conceded nine goals in their last five Premier League outings. Meanwhile, the Gunners have conceded at least two goals in four of the matches over that sequence. That is as many times as they had conceded 2+ goals in their last 27 matches.
Newcastle vs. Arsenal Picks
The pressure will be on Arsenal this weekend, as a return to winning ways will be required to close the gap on Man City. The Gunners have a positive overall record against the Magpies, and we could see them responding to recent criticism by recording a narrow 1-0 win.
