Arsenal will have their title credentials tested in the Premier League in Saturday’s early kick off.
The Gunners have gone two league matches without a win, which leaves them trailing Man City by five points. However, plenty of positives can be taken from their 2-2 draw against Liverpool last Sunday.
Eddie Howe will be hoping for a response from his Newcastle side at St. James’ Park. The Magpies have failed to win in their last five, which has seen them drop into the bottom half of the standings.
Odds
Arsenal will be the clear favorites in the betting for their trip to St. James’ Park. A victory for the home team is priced up at +283, while the draw is available at +272.

Newcastle secured a 1-0 victory in this exact fixture last season, marking a second win in three home matches against the Gunners.
Their recent sequence is a bright factor, as they had won just once in 20 attempts against Arsenal between February 2011 and November 2021.
Still, Arsenal have won eight of their last eleven away matches against the Magpies.

Nick Pope (GK); Tino Livramento, Fabian Schar, Dan Burn, Lewis Hall, Sandro Tonali, Bruno Guimaraes, Joelinton, Miguel Almiron, Alexander Isak, Harvey Barnes
Arsenal Team News
Martin Odegaard is no nearer returning for Arsenal, as he continues to recover from an ankle injury. Gabriel limped off in Arsenal’s draw against Liverpool, while Jurrien Timber and Riccardo Calafiori are doubts for Saturday.

Newcastle vs. Arsenal Prediction
Arsenal have looked short in the final third so far this season, and they are missing the spark that pushed them close to Man City in 2023-24.
Newcastle’s winless run makes them a dangerous opponent for the Gunners on Saturday, but it could pay to keep faith with the Gunners to respond to their recent setbacks.
