Newcastle vs Arsenal – Preview, and Prediction
Newcastle vs Arsenal – In Gameweek 11, Newcastle and Arsenal will play a thrilling derby at St. James’ Park to cap off a hectic Saturday in the Premier League.
Following a disappointing 2-2 draw away to the Wolves on Saturday, the Magpies cannot afford to lose.
They are currently nine points behind leaders Tottenham and seven points behind second-place Arsenal in the Premier League standings.
Eddie Howe has major concerns because he is still without first-team regulars Sven Botman, Alexander Isak, Jacob Murphy, and Sandro Tonali, and Harvey Barnes is not close to returning.
Newcastle’s tight schedule doesn’t help, since they played Borussia Dortmund, Wolves, and Manchester United before Arsenal in the Premier League and Borussia in the Champions League rematch.
The away team was back in action in the middle of the week, this time facing off against West Ham in the round of sixteen of the League Cup.
But they will enter this round in considerably better spirits following their straightforward 5-0 victory against Sheffield United, who are now at the bottom of the league.
As the Spanish manager opted to rest some of his first-team regulars, such as Martin Odegaard and Gabriel, Eddie Nketiah was the team’s hat-trick hero.
Arsenal’s issue going into this game is that they have conceded five goals in their last three away games across all competitions, only winning one of those games.
