They have only three wins in the last 9 league matches and have endured a winless streak in the previous five league outings.

Key Player to Watch in Newcastle United vs Arsenal
Alexander Isak (Newcastle United)
The Swedish striker’s importance has grown significantly in the Newcastle set-up over the seasons. Isak was the club’s top goal scorer in the Premier League netting 21 goals in 30 appearances last time. In this campaign, he has picked up a slow start with only a goal and an assist, however, his eye for the goal and quality on the ball make him a key player for the hosts against Arsenal. The 25-year-old found the net in his recent two outings against Chelsea.
Bukayo Saka (Arsenal)
The 23-year-old English winger has been the best player for Mikel Arterta’s side and is currently leading the list of most assists in the Premier League with 7 assists and three goals directly involved in the 10 league goals in 8 appearances. He has goal contributions in 7 league outings out of a total of 8 games, therefore he will be a big threat for Magpies down the right flank with his pace, acceleration and top-notch finish.
Newcastle United vs Arsenal Prediction
The hosts are winless in their last five league outings and the Guests have only suffered a single defeat in the 2024/25 campaign. Arsenal will be the favourites in the clash, coming on the back of a 2-2 draw against League toppers Liverpool. Eddie Howe’s side will have the home advantages however, the visitor’s overall quality and form give them a slight edge also they have not lost in successive away games since 2022. Thus, we are predicting a 2-1 win to Arsenal.
Predicted Score: Newcastle United 1-2 Arsenal
