Arsenal Vs Newcastle Preview
Currently perched in the familiar runner-up spot on the Premier League podium, Arsenal can reclaim 1st if they beat Newcastle on matchweek 34. In fact, the Gunners can return to the summit with a draw but in reality, all three points are required to realistically keep the title race alive.
Back-to-back 2-1 losses against Bournemouth and rivals Man City have seriously dented the confidence in north London. It will be interesting to see how the Mikel Arteta approachs Saturday’s clash with the small matter of the Champions League semi-final against Atletico Madrid to navigate in the Spanish capital on Wednesday.
As for Eddie Howe’s side, the Magpies will arrive at the Emirates with their own point to prove. The Arsenal vs Newcastle odds heavily favour the home side but the Geordies will be desperate to get some more points on the board.
It’s been a largely underwhelming campaign – in England’s elite in particular – but there have been some highlights to reflect back upon. However, consecutive 2-1 losses to the Cherries and Crystal Palace have seen the Toon Army drop down to 14th.

Arsenal Vs Newcastle Team News
Bukayo Saka is still a doubt for Arsenal and it’s likely he won’t be risked with the Atletico Madrid semi-final first-leg around the corner. The same can be said about defenders Riccardo Calafiori and Jurrien Timber. Mikel Merino is definitely out and perhaps won’t feature for the rest of the season.
Meanwhile, Newcastle will have to make do without Tino Livramento. The England full-back suffered a groin problem in the 2-1 loss to Bournemouth last time out. It appears that fellow Three Lions teammate Antony Gordon will also miss the trip to the Emirates. Gordon is currently 4/1 to join Arsenal this summer after murmurs from his camp suggested he will quit St James’ Park this summer.
