Newcastle haven't quite settled this season and Arsenal look set to exploit that.
16:30 Sunday
Arsenal look to get back to winning ways when they face Newcastle this weekend.
Newcastle vs Arsenal Prediction
- Newcastle are yet to really get going this season, but four points and clean sheets against Wolves and Bournemouth have at least given them something to build on in the weeks ahead. Toon have enjoyed plenty of success against Arsenal in recent years, winning five of their last nine meetings across all competitions, keeping clean sheets in each of those victories.
- Arsenal might have rescued a stoppage-time draw against Manchester City, but they're already playing catch-up in the Premier League title race and could be eight points behind leaders Liverpool by the time they arrive at St James' Park. The Gunners have not fared well on recent trips to Newcastle, losing four of their last five and scoring just twice during that period.
Score Prediction: Newcastle 1-2 Arsenal

- Captain Martin Ødegaard is still struggling with a shoulder injury, so Arteta could opt to start both Eze centrally and Martinelli out wide.

Arsenal to Win
The Gunners have only lost once in seven fixtures this season and showed resilience against Man City in their last. Newcastle’s recent record against Arsenal is strong, but their form this season has been patchy.
Bukayo Saka Anytime Goalscorer
Saka has made an instant impact since returning to the Arsenal squad and looks like he is wasting no time in returning to form. He should play a full 90 here. Up against one of the league's best defences (only 2.66 xG against them) this season Arsenal might have to lean on a moment of magic from their talisman.
Martin Zubimendi 2+ Fouls Committed
Zubimendi is averaging the most fouls per game for Arsenal with 1.67 and faces the leagues fourth most fouled player in Bruno Guimaraes.
