Arsenal aim to avoid any slips against Newcastle

Arsenal know they cannot afford any slip-ups when they face Newcastle United at St. James’ Park, a stadium that has troubled them in recent visits.

Mikel Arteta’s side trail Liverpool by five points after losing to the defending champions at Anfield and dropping two more points at home to Manchester City.

The Gunners have lost on each of their last three trips to St. James’ Park, including a defeat in the second leg of last season’s Carabao Cup semi-final.

Newcastle, meanwhile, have won four of their last six matches against Arsenal across all competitions. Eddie Howe’s men are also highly motivated, having collected just six points from their opening five league fixtures with only one win, three draws, and one defeat.

The clash comes just before both teams resume their UEFA Champions League campaigns on Wednesday—Arsenal host Olympiacos, while Newcastle travel to face Belgian side Union Saint-Gilloise.

Here are the key stats that could help you predict the right outcome and win with Betway:

• Newcastle United have won their last three home matches against Arsenal in all competitions without conceding a goal. The last time they won four in a row at home against Arsenal was back in August 1969.
• Under Mikel Arteta, Arsenal have lost more away matches in all competitions against Manchester City (5) than against any other side—but Newcastle are next with 4.
• Newcastle have kept clean sheets in four of their five league matches this season, conceding only in their 3-2 defeat to Liverpool. However, they have also failed to score in three of their five league games so far.
• Newcastle have won just one of their last seven Premier League matches (D3, L3)—a run that began with a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal. They failed to score in five of those seven games, the same number of blanks as in their previous 41 league fixtures combined.
• Arsenal have lost only one of their last 16 away Premier League matches (W8, D7)—though that defeat came in their most recent away outing against Liverpool. Since May 2022, Arsenal have suffered back-to-back away league defeats twice, and on both occasions the second loss came against Newcastle (May 2022 and November 2024).
• With 54 goals and 45 assists, Bukayo Saka is just one goal involvement away from becoming the eighth player to reach 100 goal contributions for Arsenal in the Premier League.
