Newcastle United vs Arsenal – Match Preview

Standings and Overall Performance

Newcastle United: 1 win, 3 draws, 1 loss (6 points), sitting mid-table. They've scored just 3 goals (joint second-worst attacking record in the league) but conceded only 3, with a goal difference of 0.  
Arsenal: 3 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss (10 points), positioned higher in the table. They've scored 10 goals (among the top four teams for goals scored) and conceded only 2, boasting a +8 goal difference and the joint-best defensive record alongside Crystal Palace.

Recent Form

Newcastle: Unbeaten in their last three Premier League matches (all with clean sheets), but struggling offensively with an average of 0.6 goals per game and conceding 0.6 on average. They've kept four clean sheets in five league games this season, and opponents have generated among the lowest Expected Goals (xG) totals against them in the league.  
Arsenal: Unbeaten in their last four competitive matches, averaging 1.8 goals scored per game overall this season. They've kept clean sheets in seven of their last eight competitive outings but have looked short on ideas against strong defenses.

Head-to-Head Record

Overall: Arsenal holds a clear lead in all-time meetings.  
Recent: Newcastle have won their last three home games against Arsenal (two in the Premier League, one in the EFL Cup) without conceding a goal. In the last five encounters overall, Newcastle have 2 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss.  
Manager-specific: Mikel Arteta has four away defeats against Newcastle as Arsenal boss—second only to his record at Manchester City.

Key Injuries and Player Notes

Newcastle: Fabian Schär is out with a head injury. No major new issues reported, but a couple of players have minor niggles from midweek action. Anthony Gordon has 10 shots without scoring this season (second-most in the league without a goal).  
Arsenal: Kai Havertz and Noni Madueke are sidelined; Martin Ødegaard is nearing a return from a shoulder injury and could feature. Recent injury history includes knocks for Bukayo Saka, William Saliba, and Viktor Gyökeres (head injury, but expected back). Six of Arsenal's 10 league goals this season have come in the 15 minutes around half-time.

Prediction : Both teams have been tough defensively. I'm going 1-0 Arsenal although 1-1 wouldn't surprise me. It will be tough on Arsenal playing away.

This is going to be a very tough game indeed, you gave a well detailed analysis, even though arsenal are the favorite to win this match Newcastle playing on the home side is very important to consider...when it comes to defense Newcastle are really good and they might use home advantage against arsenal in this game...I'm predicting a full time draw but to be on the safe side it's best to give newcastle two goals ahead or under 2.5 goals in full time

Newcastle losing Schar to an head injury in their champions league game would definitely impact this game as he is their best defender.
Arsenal on the other hand have had issues scoring goals from open play as most of their goals this season has come from set pieces.
Going with a draw in this match.

Interesting breakdown. Newcastle’s defense has been rock solid at home, and Arsenal often struggle at St. James’ Park. I could see this being another tight one—maybe low scoring like you said. If Arsenal nick an early goal though, it might tilt in their favor.

[rachael9385]

The odds are in favour of arsenal to win the match but from the look of things I don't think Newcastle would allow them to win easily. Both teams are defensively tough like you said, my prediction for this game would be a draw. Arsenal are currently occupying the fourth position on the board, they are also fighting to make their way to the top, so they wouldn't allow Newcastle win them easily. it's certain that that goals wouldn't be much

Winning at Saint James Park is not that easy. However Liverpool was able to win their this season after battling with Newcastle. And yeah, I have this believe Arsenal is going to win. After all, during pre season, Arsenal won them. Although Newcastle is going to put up a stubborn game tomorrow, as expected but once they concede two goals its over for them.

If you bet on 2 goals ahead for Newcastle, you will lose.

Solid prop card — BTTS looks spot on given both teams’ defensive issues lately. Hard to argue against Over 2.5 too with the way Chelsea and Liverpool have been attacking. Should be an open and entertaining one at Stamford Bridge.

This matchup is going to be a tricky one for Liverpool. Chelsea have some key players missing which would reduce their scoring probability even though talisman Joao Pedro would feature.
The match could see an influx of goals too as Chelsea's defence is shaky and Liverpool can score multiple times. Looking forward to see how Maresca sets up his team for this matchup.
There's going to be a lot of ingame adjustments by both managers too.

Liverpool vs Manchester United — Sun, Oct 19 (11:30 a.m. ET), Anfield

Form & context: Liverpool have hit a wobble (three straight defeats in all comps) and will again be without Alisson (hamstring); Giorgi Mamardashvili should start in goal. United arrive with an uneven league run and a long winless stretch at Anfield dating back to 2016. Kickoff is Sunday after a fixture move, live on Sky (UK) / USA Network (US).

Tactical snapshot: Slot’s Liverpool still press and funnel attacks through wide rotations, but recent edges have been thin without their No. 1 keeper. United under Amorim are tidier in mid-block, dangerous in transition, yet often struggle to control Anfield territory for long spells.

Prediction: Liverpool 2–1 Man United. Home crowd, chance quality, and set-piece threat tilt it, even with Alisson out; United’s pace in transition keeps this live but the Anfield trend remains decisive.

Good preview! I’m going with Liverpool 2–1 today. Even without Alisson, they usually rise at Anfield. United might nick one on the counter, but I still see Liverpool’s attack being the difference.

This matchup is kind of dicey cos if we consider Manchester United's form, Liverpool should be getting 3 goals past them easy but then again, Liverpool haven't been convincing over their last 5 games.
Either ways I'll still fancy Liverpool to get the win here but won't be surprised if Manchester United leaves with something.

Aston Villa vs Manchester City — Sun, Oct 26 • Villa Park (10:00 a.m. ET / 9:00 a.m. CT)

City arrive in good scoring form with Haaland leading the line, but Villa Park has been a tough stop under Unai Emery. Villa beat City here 2–1 last December, and they’re dangerous on quick transitions and set pieces.

Team news leans toward late fitness calls for City in midfield, with Nico Gonzalez doubtful due to a foot injury. Villa have managed a few knocks of their own, including Youri Tielemans (calf) and Andres Garcia (unspecified). Rodri is ruled out for City with a hamstring injury, so Villa’s press could exploit their midfield.

Prediction: Manchester City 2–1 Aston Villa. City create a little more and edge it late, but Villa make them work for the points.

This would be a feisty one for Pep's men cos they always start slow in their matches. This is where Aston Villa can test them if they can score early.
No doubt about talisman Haaland too. Leading the league in goals with 11 goals in 8 matches.
Going with a Manchester win. Bitcoinbetting has Manchester City to win at 1.85 odds.

Nice preview! This one’s set for today, and it should be a good battle. Villa Park is always a tough place to play, but even with Rodri out I still trust City to get it done. I’m going with Man City to win, maybe a tight 2–1 like you predicted. Haaland looks ready to make the difference.

Tactical beats to watch

Liverpool’s press and quick switches into the half-spaces vs Villa’s compact mid-block and direct breaks.
 Set pieces both ways—an area that kept this fixture tight last season.

Prediction: Liverpool 2–1 Aston Villa. Edge to Liverpool’s chance creation at Anfield, but Villa’s counters keep it nervy deep into the second half.

Liverpool’s attack looks in rhythm again, but Villa’s home record can’t be ignored, they’ve been solid defensively and quick on counters. Might be a high-tempo match where live-betting on total goals after 15 minutes could offer better value than pre-match lines. Hard to call straight up, maybe both teams to score is safer.

What’s everyone leaning toward, goals market or match winner?

I would go with giving Newcastle 3 goals handicap to win that match considering the defensive prowess of both teams, It is clear from assessment that Arsenal would not be able to win that match with more than two goals if at all they can win the match. It may likely end in a draw and end Arsenal winning streaks. Newcastle is in good form and can offer as much resistance as possible to Arsenal and better still they are playing from home which places them a bit more on advantage.

Man City vs Liverpool — Preview & Pick

Fixture: Man City vs Liverpool
Date/Time: Sun, Nov 9 • 16:30 GMT
Venue: Etihad Stadium

Quick Preview

Expect City to control territory and possession, but Liverpool’s pace in transition (Salah/Núñez) and set-piece threat (van Dijk) keep them dangerous.
These meetings often start cagey, open up after halftime, and hinge on a handful of high-value chances at either end.
Margins are thin: both sides have enough firepower to score once, but neither has a clear edge to pull away.

Match Script Lean: Tight, tactical first half; more chances after the hour. One apiece feels live.

Recent Form and Key Stats
Chelsea sit second with 23 points from 12 games (7W-2D-3L, +12 GD), surging since a slow start thanks to the Club World Cup commitments. They've opened the scoring in their last seven league outings and kept clean sheets in four of five across all comps, but home form lags (just 43.5% of points earned at Stamford Bridge).

Arsenal top the table with 29 points (9W-2D-1L, +18 GD), conceding a miserly six goals all season (clean sheets in 75% of league games). They've won eight straight London derbies since 2022-23, including a 4-1 thrashing of Tottenham last time out.

Team	Position	Pld	W	D	L	GF	GA	Recent Form (Last 5)
Chelsea	2nd	12	7	2	3	23	11	W - W - D - W - L (3-0 vs Barca midweek)
Arsenal	1st	12	9	2	1	24	6	W - W - W - D - W (3-1 vs Bayern midweek)

Team News
Chelsea: A major boost with Cole Palmer back in contention after a toe fracture—he's trained all week and could start, adding creativity to the attack. Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernández are fit post-groin/knee scares. Notable absentees include Romeo Lavia (fresh quad strain, out for at least a month), Levi Colwill (knee), Mykhailo Mudryk (suspended pending doping case resolution), and Dario Essugo (just returned to training after thigh surgery, unlikely to feature).
Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Sánchez; James, Chalobah, Fofana, Cucurella; Fernández, Caicedo; Neto, Palmer, Garnacho; João Pedro.

Arsenal: Defensive woes persist without Gabriel (groin, out "weeks" after international duty—scan pending). Leandro Trossard limped off midweek with a knock (doubtful, fitness test Friday), while Viktor Gyökeres (muscle), Kai Havertz (hamstring), and Gabriel Jesus (knee recovery) remain sidelined into December. Martin Ødegaard is fit but may not start. Piero Hincapié steps in at left-CB.
Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Raya; Timber, Saliba, Hincapié, Calafiori; Zubimendi, Rice; Saka, Eze, Madueke; Merino.

Key Battles
• Midfield engine room: Fernández/Caicedo vs Rice/Zubimendi—Arsenal's press (led by Rice's growing influence) could disrupt Chelsea's build-up, but the Blues' duo have dictated tempo in recent wins. 
• Wings and width: Garnacho/Neto vs Saka/Madueke (ex-Chelsea)—Saka's seven goals/assists could exploit Cucurella, while Chelsea's pace targets Arsenal's makeshift backline. 
• Set-pieces: Arsenal lead the league in corners won; Chelsea's aerial threats (Fofana, João Pedro) vs Saliba's foul-drawing prowess.

Predicted Score: Chelsea 1-2 Arsenal
