EPL Arsenal vs Newcastle: Preview, Odds And Predictions

With anticipation building, here are our best Arsenal vs Newcastle betting tips and predictions ahead of Saturday's massive Premier League clash at the Emirates Stadium.

Mikel Arteta's Arsenal take on Eddie Howe's Newcastle United in what promises to be an exciting encounter in North London. The Gunners dropped to second in the table for the first time since the start of the season after last weekend's 2-1 defeat against title rivals Manchester City. That result left Arsenal level on points with City, but behind due to fewer goals scored.

Newcastle, meanwhile, still have an outside chance of European qualification, despite a disappointing campaign. The Magpies will be hoping to end a run of three consecutive league defeats, but will be up against it at a ground where they have not won in the league since 2010.

Arsenal Vs Newcastle Prediction

Looking ahead to this one, Arsenal are strong favourites with most UK betting sites. The Gunners are priced at around 1.47 compared to Newcastle's 5.00, suggesting the home side should emerge victorious.

It's difficult to argue against this, given Newcastle's abysmal away form, particularly against Arsenal. Eddie Howe's side have lost 12 of their last 13 trips to the Emirates in the Premier League.

Although there is still a mathematical possibility of Newcastle qualifying for Europe, it is extremely unlikely. As a result, the visitors will have little to play for on Saturday, against an Arsenal side desperate for three points to keep their title challenge alive.

We therefore believe Arsenal will claim a comfortable victory and maintain their excellent record at home against the Magpies.

Prediction: Arsenal 2-0 Newcastle

Arsenal Vs Newcastle Betting Tips

Below, we have picked out three of our best betting tips for Arsenal vs Newcastle, which can all be backed ahead of this weekend's fixture.

Arsenal & No - Result/Both Teams To Score - 2.68

First up, we are backing Arsenal to win on Saturday, and keep a clean sheet. As mentioned, the Gunners have an excellent home record against Newcastle, with just two league defeats this century.

On top of this, Newcastle have scored just once in their last nine Premier League visits to the Etihad, losing seven of those games to nil.

We therefore see title-chasing Arsenal taking complete control and putting in a strong performance to maintain their unbeaten run at home to the Magpies.

Over 11.5 Corners - 2.60

Next, we predict there to be plenty of corners as set-piece specialists Arsenal look to dominate in the box.

Arteta's side lead the Premier League in set-piece goals this season, with an astonishing 23 from corners and free-kicks so far.

While critics have branded the tactic 'anti-football', there is no doubting its effectiveness. Arsenal will therefore be looking to create as many opportunities as possible.

Newcastle are no strangers to scoring from corners either, though. They are third in the league for set-piece goals, with 20, and use the likes of towering defender Dan Burn's 6'7 frame to great effect, further improving the odds of more corners.

Dan Burn To Receive A Yellow Card - 3.00

Finally, our last Arsenal Vs Newcastle betting tip is for Dan Burn to be yellow-carded. The Newcastle skipper has been booked nine times already this season, and was sent off against Brentford in November.

He is joint-second in the yellow card rankings for Newcastle this season, behind only Joelinton. With the Brazilian suspended, Burn is a solid bet to pick up another yellow on Saturday.

And given our prediction that Arsenal will dominate proceedings, Burn should find himself especially busy in the defensive third. This will further increase the probability of him being forced into difficult positions and needing to make desperate tackles.

As a result, we see Burn picking up a booking as a very likely outcome.
