Arsenal and Newcastle meet in a match in the 19th round of the Premier League. The match will be played on Monday, at 20:00, at Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal are not going through a very consistent season, as evidenced by their position in the Premier League standings, 11th place. One of them came in the English Cup, right against Newcastle, a victory obtained after extra time, with the score of 2-0. The success that started this series was achieved in a London derby, 3-1 at home with Chelsea.
Newcastle, on the other hand, are struggling in mediocrity. Steve Bruce’s team occupies only the 15th position, with 5 victories, 4 draws and 8 defeats. The current form is also disappointing, with Newcastle unsuccessful since December. The last six stages of the championship brought them only two points, despite the fact that at least some of these games were not played against top opponents. Moreover, in the previous round, Newcastle lost 1-0 at Sheffield United, the only team without a win this season, until the 18th round.
At the moment, Newcastle does not seem to be able to obtain a positive result, at least not on the field of a team like Arsenal. We rely on the victory of the hosts, but also on at least six sutures sent by the “gunners” on the goal area.
