- Arsenal have won 12, drawn two and lost only two of their 16 home Premier League 2025/2026 matches.
- Newcastle have won four, drawn four and lost eight of their 16 away Premier League 2025/2026 fixtures.
Arsenal will look to bounce back from three straight losses
Arsenal welcome Newcastle to the Emirates Stadium in an intriguing clash of two teams who have endured three straight defeats in all competitions. This Arsenal vs Newcastle preview will highlight how Mikel Arteta has been in charge since December 2019 and his side play an intricate brand of soccer, morphing from a possession-based 4-3-3 system into a more expansive style when they have the ball.
Arteta’s men create overloading situations, quickly execute set pieces and patiently build up before lancing through on the break.
A series of tweaks have kept Arsenal at the top of the table despite three consecutive losses in all competitions, including back-to-back Premier League defeats to Bournemouth and Manchester City.
Newcastle’s new style has left them in midtable
Newcastle’s away form has been a problem for much of the Premier League 2025/2026 campaign, and their record of four wins, four draws and eight defeats from 16 away trips has left them 14th in the table with 42 points from 33 games, compared to Arsenal’s 70.
Eddie Howe has been at the Magpies helm since November 2021 and his energetic, physical 4-3-3 has produced some blinding spells of play, but a lack of consistency has held them back this season.
Newcastle are a team that can switch into a high press or drop back and look to exploit space on the counterattack, and their average of 1.00 goals scored per game away from home in the Premier League 2025/2026 compared to 1.31 conceded suggests their backline can be easily stretched on their travels. For fans looking for Arsenal vs Newcastle prediction, Newcastle's struggles on the road may play a crucial role in determining the outcome.
Goals at both ends expected at Emirates Stadium
Both sides have been vulnerable in the back lately and we’re expecting goals at both ends of the field in this game. The odds of 1.65 for over 2.5 goals and 1.7 for both teams to score are very tempting, but Arsenal have lost three on the spin and a bounce-back win is expected, with odds of 1.52 about a home win. In terms of Arsenal vs Newcastle betting tips, backing both teams to score could provide value given their recent defensive records.
Arsenal to win and both teams to score is a strong selection given the talent in both sides’ attacking ranks, particularly in the case of Viktor Gyökeres for Arsenal and Bruno Guimaraes for Newcastle. The Magpies star has nine league goals in 24 games this term, making the Arsenal vs Newcastle prediction even more interesting for those considering the attacking threat on both sides.
