Arsenal travel to Newcastle on Saturday as they look to maintain their unbeaten start to the new season. A victory for the Gunners would send them back to the top of the standings, while Newcastle could close in on the top four with a victory at St. James’ Park.
Before Betting On Newcastle vs Arsenal
The standout fixture in the English top flight on Saturday will see Newcastle host Arsenal. The Gunners were excellent in their most recent fixture, as they landed a commanding 5-0 success against relegation-threatened Sheffield United. Meanwhile, the Magpies will be looking to bounce back after being held by Wolves last Saturday.
Newcastle’s record in this fixture could be challenging to overlook this weekend, as they have won just once in their last ten league fixtures against the Gunners. Over that period, the Magpies have failed to score on eight occasions. In fact, only Man United have recorded more away league wins than the Gunners during the Premier League era.
Arsenal boasts an excellent defensive record in this fixture, as they have managed to keep clean sheets on 30 occasions. That is the most of any side against a single opposition in Premier League history. However, Newcastle will take confidence from the fact that they are unbeaten in their last six league matches, and they have scored at least twice in each of the last five.
But, Arsenal also come into this match in fine recent form, as they have gone eleven without a defeat in the Premier League. Their scoring record over that period is exceptional, as they have netted on 28 occasions. Interestingly, all three of their draws in their previous eleven have come in the form of 2-2 results in London derbies.
