Arsenal continue their hunt for a first Premier League title in 20 years this weekend when they come up against an interesting challenge. The Gunners will have home field advantage for this showdown against Newcastle United at the Emirates.
Before Betting On Arsenal vs Newcastle
It has been an excellent start to the new calendar year for Arsenal, as the Gunners have recorded victories in all matches that they have played in 2024. Mikel Arteta’s side currently sits third in the standings, and they could come into this round of matches with a five-point disadvantage over Liverpool.
Newcastle have endured a challenging 2023-24 season, and it appears unlikely that they will be challenging for a European spot this term. The Magpies come into this round of matches after winning twice in their last four, but they are unbeaten across that period of fixtures in the Premier League.
However, the advantage is firmly with Arsenal based on the head-to-head record, as the Gunners are unbeaten in their last eleven home matches against the Magpies. But, Newcastle’s 10-game losing run in matches at Arsenal was ended with a 0-0 draw last season.
Newcastle also landed a famous 1-0 success in the reverse fixture this term. That means that they will be chasing a first league double over the Gunners since 1994-95 on Saturday. Arsenal will also be looking to end their miserable scoring run against Newcastle, having failed to score in three of their last four against the Magpies.
Arsenal vs Newcastle Offshore Odds
Arsenal’s form at the start of this year has been excellent, and it appears challenging to overlook that trend. Newcastle have a miserable record at the Emirates, and we struggle to see them recording a rare win in North London this weekend.
