Match Overview
Arsenal take on Newcastle United in a match in the Premier League at the Emirates Stadium in London on Saturday. Both these teams are very well matched with each other, and it will be interesting to see which way this game ends up going. Arsenal are quite a tough team to beat at home, and Newcastle will be aware of that fact.
Key Highlights
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe knows that he will have to weave a different plan to tackle Arsenal in their own lair. The visiting side are known to attack on the counter and not take any prisoners against their opponents, and this is well reflected by the fact that they are now ranked in the eighth position of the league table with 37 points to their name.
Injury Report
Both these teams have long lists of injured players in their ranks. For Arsenal, the likes of Oleksandr Zinchenko, Thomas Partey and Jurrien Timber, among others, are ruled out. For Newcastle, Nick Pope, Matt Targett and Joe Willock are among some of the players who will be missing in action.
Prediction
Neither Arsenal nor Newcastle appear to be the overwhelming favourites to win this game. We expect BTTS (both teams to score) in this game. Arsenal have a strong attacking and midfield unit whereas Newcastle, as mentioned earlier, like to attack on the counter. For the neutral spectator, this means that end-to-end football is assured.
