Newcastle v Arsenal Preview

Newcastle’s Form 

Since the Saudi takeover, the rise in the club's stature has been constant albeit slower than City’s previous rise (due to PSR Rules). Last season they were consistent across competitions being competitive in the Champions League “Group of Death” finishing 7th in the league and reaching the  Quarter-Finals in both the EFL and FA Cup.

However, their 24/25 season has had worrying signs even if it’s early into the season. While they’re currently 9th in the Premier League on 12 points, their Expected Points total has them even further down the table in 14th position and only on 10.98 points. If this trend continues Eddie Howe will be on borrowed time. However, his midweek win against Chelsea and the recent scoring streak of Isak could mean the signs ahead are brighter.

A win could flip the table into 8th place and above Tottenham albeit potentially temporarily with Newcastle playing in this weekend's early fixture.

Arsenal’s Form 

Arsenal arguably fluffed their first proper test of the Premier League season (at the Emirates that is) last weekend when they played out a 2-2 draw against Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium falling to a late Salah equaliser in the 81st minute. That means they already trail Man City by 5 points and Liverpool by 4 points at this early juncture of the season.

Though Arsenal are 3rd in the Premier League with 18 points from their opening 10 matches to put them behind Liverpool (21) and Man City (20). However, their Expected Points tally gives cause for worry at only 14.7 which would have them in 8th place it suggests an unsustainability to their league position ahead of entering the crucial Christmas period in a few weeks.

Winning this game would ensure to stay 3rd in the table.

Key Players To Watch

Alexander Isak – Newcastle

The “New Zlatan” (25) is one of the most potent finishers in the Premier League and as his nickname suggests also has the skill and holding-the-ball-up ability of his legendary compatriot.

He hasn’t quite hit the standards of last season yet though there are signs he’s coming to life now, scoring in two successive games against Chelsea to take his tally to 3 goals and 1 assist in 9 games. He is 13/2 to score first in this game and 9/4 to score anytime.

Kai Havertz – Arsenal

Arsenal’s third-largest-ever signing Havertz (24) has come under considerable criticism since he signed from Chelsea before the 23/24 season but had a respectable tally of 14 goals and 7 assists from 51 games. However, he offers far more to this Arsenal side than goal contributions; he's tactically flexible too and can fill in several roles.

Havertz is 13/2 to score first in this game and can be gotten at 5/2 to score any time.

Newcastle v Arsenal Prediction & Best Bet

Prediction: Newcastle 1-2 Arsenal

Newcastle have underwhelmed this season so far but their midweek win against Chelsea may be the confidence booster that Eddie Howe’s team needs.

Arsenal’s draw last weekend against Liverpool means they already have a points gap to make up on Man City and Liverpool despite being only 10 games into the season.

I think Arsenal will do enough to win this game.

Best Bet: Draw +1 @11/4
