Newcastle vs Arsenal prediction

Both Newcastle and Arsenal haven’t been at their free-flowing best at the start of this season, and that seems unlikely to change any time soon.

The Magpies are still looking to find that winning formula, with plenty of change coming in their attacking ranks.

Given their poor record at Newcastle too, expect a low-scoring encounter, which could still be fiery.
