This one’s got tension written all over it. Arsenal are unbeaten away from home this season (bar that Liverpool slip), but Newcastle have made life miserable for them at St. James’ Park. The Magpies have won their last three home games against Arsenal without even conceding a goal. Can Arteta’s men finally break the curse, or will Eddie Howe’s side turn the Toon into a graveyard for Arsenal’s title chase?
Things to Watch Out For
- Home Hex on Arsenal – Newcastle have won their last three home games vs Arsenal, all without conceding. That’s a fortress.
- Arteta’s Stumbling Block – Arsenal have only lost more away games at Man City than they have at Newcastle under Arteta.
- Defence vs Attack – Newcastle already have four clean sheets this season, but also failed to score in three of five league matches.
- Magpies’ Dip in Form – Only one win in their last seven league matches. Momentum is fading, goals even more so.
- Arsenal’s Away Record – Just one defeat in their last 16 league away games. But the last two times they lost back-to-back away? Both came at Newcastle.
Win Probability
- Newcastle: 27%
- Draw: 28%
- Arsenal: 45%
Bookies give Arsenal the edge, but St. James’ Park is no tourist attraction. Expect noise, chaos, and maybe a shock.
Standings Check
- Arsenal: 2nd place (10 points, chasing Liverpool at the top).
