Our Prediction for Arsenal vs Newcastle United
The London side last season cemented their informal status as the main threat to the leaders. Even their return to the Champions League was not a distraction – it was only literally in the final round that it became clear Manchester City retained the title and left their rival second. For Howe and his charges, participation in the top European competition had a negative impact. They finished last in their Champions League group and fell from fourth to seventh place in the Premier League.
This season, however, Isak and company have improved again. The League Cup victory stands out – not the most prestigious trophy, but a huge achievement for a club that went decades without silverware! In the Premier League, the Magpies are battling for a spot in the 'Champions League five.' Admittedly, recent matches have been tough. Still, they recently beat a major rival – Chelsea. Arteta, realizing Liverpool couldn’t be caught and second place was safe, shifted his focus to the Champions League. Having overcome PSV and then Real Madrid, Arsenal lost to PSG twice in the semifinals.
Saka and company are scoring an average of 1.83 goals per game, conceding 0.92 in return. Their opponents' attack is slightly sharper (1.89 per game), but their defense is less reliable (1.25 conceded).
