Newcastle vs Arsenal Prediction
Newcastle entertain Arsenal in the late Premier League kick off on Sunday but this fixture could be one for the purists rather than an all action affair.Newcastle boss Howe is also dealing with an injury to a right-winger, as Jacob Murphy is managing an Achilles niggle, although the 30-year-old will be available to his manager if required.
Arsenal won the last two head-to-head meetings with the Magpies but both were played outside of St. James’ Park. The home court advantage has generally played a massive role in the recent history of this matchup.There is a temptation to side with a 0-0 draw but Arsenal may just be able to grind out a 1-0 win in the north east.
