Arsenal get the chance to climb back up to the top of the table and apply some pressure on Manchester City by beating Newcastle , and simply can't afford to slip-up again.
The Gunners have squandered a sizeable lead but can still take heart from what appears an easier run-in than City as they seek to revive their title chances, starting with a home game against the struggling Magpies .
With there being a real chance of goal difference proving decisive, 6/5 for Mikel Arteta 's men to prevail by more than one clear score is our first Arsenal vs Newcastle prediction.

Form Guides
Arsenal form guide
It has been a tough few weeks for the Gunners , who lost in the Carabao Cup final, crashed out of the FA Cup at Southampton and have suffered back-to-back league defeats against Bournemouth and City . However, they put up a spirited effort at Etihad Stadium last time out and did manage to qualify for the Champions League semis by shading Sporting Lisbon 1-0 on aggregate in between the domestic disappointments.
We have to keep going, said captain Martin Odegaard . It was always going to go all the way to the end, so we have to keep going, keep working hard and sticking together. We just look forward to the next game now and bounce back. We created a few big, big chances against City , so there are some positives to take.
Kai Havertz scored the crucial goal against Sporting and grabbed an opportunist strike at City , where he had other near-misses, so 9/2 for him to break the deadlock here is a fair price.
Newcastle form guide
The Magpies head south on a damaging run of four straight losses, which has heaped enormous pressure on head coach Eddie Howe . Newcastle bowed out of the Champions League after a humbling 7-2 defeat at Barcelona and have subsequently lost 2-1 to Sunderland , Crystal Palace and Bournemouth in the Premier League , denting hopes of getting back into Europe next season.
Howe insisted he is still seeing total commitment from his players but admitted United have become too easy to beat during a run of eight defeats in 11 league games, declaring: At this moment in time, I feel very flat.
One plus point for the Magpies is that they have hit the back of the net in 18 straight matches in all competitions, which makes a BOYLE Sports price boost of 2/1 for a home win and both teams to score worth adding to our Arsenal vs Newcastle betting tips.
