Arsenal vs. Newcastle Prediction, Picks for Premier League – Saturday, April 25
It seems like just the other day Arsenal was nine points ahead of everyone atop the EPL table. Now, after over 200 days of owning that top spot, Arsenal heads into Saturday afternoon’s match as the second-placed team.
Mikel Arteta’s squad will be eager to avoid finishing as runners-up for the fourth consecutive season. The Gunners should have some much-needed reinforcements returning in this match, headlined by club vice-captain Bukayo Saka. Saka was out of commission for just under a month due to an Achilles issue.
Arsenal’s attack has struggled in his absence, with the club scoring just 4 goals in its last five games across all competitions. Luckily for the Gunners, Newcastle has struggled defensively as of late and will be missing key players in the back line in this one. Veteran defender Fabian Schar and Valentino Livramento are both set to miss this match with lower-body injuries.
Neither club enters this match in particularly good form, with Newcastle losing four straight matches — three of them coming in the EPL. Howe’s team has conceded 6 goals in that three-game span. We already touched on Arsenal’s recent woes; however, Saturday afternoon’s matchup could be a chance to right the ship at home against a struggling opponent.
Arsenal miraculously defeated Newcastle the first time these teams met, all the way back in matchweek 6. The Gunners were down 1-0 as late as the 83rd minute. Thanks to the heroics of Mikel Merino and Gabriel, Arsenal went on to secure three points on the road back in late September.
Arteta will hope to replicate the fluidity the attack had at that point in the season. Arsenal had 20 shots, 7 on target, in that match, compared to its most recent defeat, when it finished with 9 shots and just 3 on target. The Gunners will bank on the return of Saka, alongside many quality players in the squad, to leapfrog them forward and past Man City for good.
