7th May 2023 – 17:30, St. James’ Park, Newcastle
Newcastle and Arsenal will open Sunday’s action of the Premier League 35th round. The home side seeks a top-four finish, while the visitors still hope to win the title at the end of the campaign.
Newcastle United Preview & Team News
After the previous result, Newcastle United will be hoping for more of the same after their 3-1 Premier League win against Southampton. In that game, Newcastle United had 64% possession and 22 attempts on goal with five on target. It was the Magpies’ third straight win that kept them nine points ahead of the fifth-placed Liverpool. However, Newcastle needs to stay alert to keep their top-four position and earn a Champions League ticket. Regarding selection issues, Matty Longstaff (Knee Injury), Sean Longstaff (Knock), and Jamaal Lascelles (Calf Injury) are not available for Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe.
Arsenal Preview & Team News
Arsenal comes into this match on the back of a 3-1 win in the Premier League against Chelsea in their previous game. In that match, Arsenal had 55% possession and 16 attempts, with ten on target. The Gunners enjoyed an excellent first half, after which they already had a 3-0 lead. Thanks to that victory, Arsenal stayed in the title race, but still, Manchester City is a team that will lead the race. The Gunners need to pick up where they left off and hope that the Citizens will spill points in the remainder of the campaign. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta currently has to contend with reduced team options. William Saliba (Back Injury), Mohamed Elneny (Knee Injury), and Takehiro Tomiyasu (Knee Surgery) are not able to play.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Newcastle United has been quite good at St. James’ Park this season, losing only one game on 16 occasions. On the other hand, Arsenal’s confidence is at a high level after beating Chelsea. This game can go either way, and we see a draw as the most realistic outcome.
Goals Market Prediction
Arsenal’s defense has been porous lately, while Newcastle scores two goals per game on average when playing in their backyard. Therefore, we think neither team will keep a clean sheet in this encounter.
