Arsenal vs Newcastle United Prediction
There were genuine fears that Arsenal would be involved in a relegation battle given some of their performances earlier this season. However, the Gunners have managed to quell those doubts. They are currently 11th in the league table, and the addition of Emile Smith Rowe to their midfield has proven to be crucial.
Newcastle United, on the other hand, suffered a disappointing loss against Sheffield United, and questions continue to hound manager Steve Bruce. The Magpies are 15th in the table, but a few more poor results would see them drop straight down to the relegation spots.
Arsenal seem to have found form at the right time, much to the relief of manager Mikel Arteta. They should be able to beat Newcastle United.
Prediction: Arsenal 1-0 Newcastle United
