Arsenal vs Newcastle United preview
Arsenal’s Champions League knockout struggles continued on Wednesday when losing to Porto.
The late suckerpunch in the 1-0 defeat put further pressure on the Gunners’ continental woes, having not won a knock out match in the Champions League since March 2015.
It also brought a five-game winning run to an end – where they’d registered a cool 21 goals in that time.
Liverpool’s midweek win means they head into the game five points off the top with a game in-hand.
They now host a Newcastle side who are pushing for Europe themselves after a stop-start campaign, in a fixture where there haven’t been many goals in recent times.
In fact, the last six times they’ve met, there hasn’t ever been more than two goals scored in the game and it’s back to 2018 to find the last game in which both teams to score would have landed – 12 games ago in all competitions.
Newcastle’s only defeat in their last seven games came against Manchester City, though they’ve recently had high-scoring draws with Bournemouth and Luton at home.
Their away games were the undoing of them earlier in the season but it’s now four wins on the bounce away from St James’.

Arsenal vs Newcastle betting tips
Goal shy
We’re having to follow the trend of past matches.
Yes, that will end eventually and these teams are scoring plenty of goals – and conceding in Newcastle’s case.
This game last season ended goalless at the Emirates, with the previous one a 2-0 Arsenal win.
A stubborn Newcastle defence could turn up again and they’d have watched Arsenal throw in that mediocre display in midweek.
Under 2.5 goals at 8/5 – CLAIM HERE
Burn card
Dan Burn has faced calls to be dropped by some in the Toon support.
But Eddie Howe has stuck by Burn as his left back and he’ll have a tough afternoon up against Bukayo Saka if selected.
Was booked recently against Luton and was also booked in home game against the Gunners last season.
Dan Burn to be carded 3/1 – CLAIM HERE
Fab value
A bit of a rogue selection in picking a defender to have a shot on target.
But Fabian Schar is slightly different in the fact he fancies himself further up the park!
He has three goals in his last four games and whether it’s up from the back from set pieces or stepping into midfield for an effort from range, he’s good value to keep that attacking run going.
Fabian Schar 1+ shot on target at 3/1 – CLAIM HERE
