Arsenal vs Newcastle United Prediction: Waiting for Another Victory of the Leader

Arsenal will host Newcastle United at the Emirates home stadium. The next meeting of the clubs will be held in the 19th round of the English Premier League. Last week, the Magpies could not extend a positive series of performances in the tournament, and the Gunners won an important victory in a difficult away match with Brighton. Are we waiting for another victory of the leader of the EPL?

After a strong-willed victory over West Ham United (3:1), Arsenal went to visit Brighton. This meeting turned out to be even more productive. The Gunners played worse defense and allowed the opponent to score two goals. But here, the difference was made by the realization of scoring chances performed by Mikel Arteta's wards – a victory with a score of 4:2. With 43 points, Arsenal continues to lead in the Premier League standings. The Londoners increased their advantage over Manchester City to seven points.

After a confident away victory over Leicester City (3-0), Newcastle United returned to their arena and hosted Leeds United. Unexpectedly for many, the Magpies could not extend the winning streak of performances in the English championship. In this match, the teams should have been noted for effective actions and shared the points. With 34 points, the Eddie House team is on the third line of the Premier League.

Naturally, Arsenal is considered the favorite of the upcoming game. However, after the resumption of the Premier League season, Mikel Arteta's team will now face the strongest opponent, with all due respect to West Ham and Brighton. This season, Newcastle United took points from two Manchester clubs and will try to repeat this result in the game with the standings' leader.
