Arsenal – Newcastle will play on Saturday, January 9, starting at 17:30 in the FA Cup. The match will be played on Emirates and will be led from the center by Chris Kavanagh.
“Tunarii” have prevailed in the previous 4 direct confrontations, and in the last 3 matches they have not conceded a goal. Moreover, Arsenal have won the last 8 direct matches played on Emirates.
Arteta’s team is clearly in shape. The London group comes after 3 consecutive victories, with Chelsea, Brighton and West Brom. Thus, Arsenal climbed to 11th place in the Premier League, with a total of 23 points, just 6 lengths away from the top 4. On the other hand, the visiting group has not beaten anyone in the last 6 official matches, registering 4 defeats and two draws. Here we also mention the lost game from the EFL Cup in front of the group from Championhsip, Brentford, score 1-0.
Most likely both coaches will rest some important players for the Premier League matches. In the middle of next week, Arsenal will meet Crystal Palace, while for Newcastle there will be a trip to Sheffield Utd. Even so, the group led by Arteta has the first chance to win, having a high morale and being the most valuable team. In addition, being an eliminatory match, there are great chances to witness a success at the end of the game.
