Two Top EPL Teams Meet at St James’ Park

St. James’ Park will host Sunday’smatch between Newcastle United and Arsenal, the two teams who sit in the Champions League berth. Our sportsbook offers the best markets and Premier League live betting odds in the English top-flight league.

Newcastle: Excellent Season

It is turning into an excellent season for Newcastle, winning its last four home games and looking set to secure a place in next season’s Champions League. Comfortable home successes over Tottenham and Southampton were doubled by a 4-1 victory at Everton, with Eddie Howe’s team looking particularly strong.

Setting a new record for the most Premier League goals scored by a Newcastle player in a single month, Callum Wilson defined the term super-sub scoring just eight minutes after replacing Anthony Gordon last weekend against Southampton.

While the Magpies can always be relied upon to deliver the goods in the final third, their defensive line is far from great, with just one clean sheet to boast from their last 15 matches in all competitions. Alexander Isak has been involved in eight goals in his last nine EPL games, so if you’re betting online, you should back him to contribute on the scoresheet.

Both Callum Wilson and Alexander Isak enjoyed excellent Aprils, but the latter will be expected to get the nod on Sunday. The Swede will likely be flanked by Joelinton and Jacob Murphy, with Sean Longstaff coming back into the midfield three alongside former Gunner Joe Willock. Allan Saint-Maximin is a doubt and unlikely to start following a couple of weeks on the sidelines.

Arsenal: Back to Winning Ways

Arsenal returned to winning ways with a 3-1 victory over Chelsea on Tuesday, but it will take a lot more than that for it to get back into the title race.

Arsenal was too strong for the sorry Blues at the Emirates, but the club is still disappointed that it let two-goal leads slip against West Ham and Liverpool in its most recent away fixtures. Arsenal was also poor when it squeezed past Southampton at home and allowed Manchester City to take the lead in the title race.

Victory for Arsenal at St James’ Park would guarantee a top-two finish and a return to the Champions League groups. Arteta’s side also remains the best-performing team on the road, despite failing to win any of its last three on rival territory, so we will continue to include Arsenal in our Premier League picks and parlays when it comes to goals.

Arsenal admitted concern over defender Gabriel Magalhaes when he came off injured in the dying minutes of the win over Chelsea, especially with one first-choice defender in William Saliba sure to miss out again. Takehiro Tomiyasu and Mohamed Elneny both remain out with season-ending knee problems.

Newcastle vs Arsenal Head-to-Head

Newcastle has won its last four EPL home matches. Arsenal’s last 10 games have all featured at least three goals.

Arsenal has failed to score in just one of its 17 away league matches, and is the best away team in the league, with 11 wins in 17 road games and 33 goals scored. On the other side, Newcastle lost just one of its 16 home fixtures, netting 32 goals.

We’ve seen a maximum of two goals scored in each of the previous four head-to-heads. The reverse fixture finished in a goalless draw.

Newcastle vs Arsenal Betting Lines


Newcastle vs Arsenal Picks and Prediction

The hosts enter this clash as slight favorites, priced at +145 on the three-way moneyline according to the latest Premier League odds, while the goal line is set at three.

Arsenal’s defense has been vulnerable without William Saliba, and even a dreadful Chelsea side could have scored a couple of times against them in midweek. With Howe’s side in such thrilling form in attack but also vulnerable at the back, this match should definitely go over. The Gunners have still been superb in recent weeks, so it bodes well for a thriller.

The Newcastle is listed at +145 in our Vegas Premier League lines. This means that if you wager $100 on Newcastle, you have a chance to win $145. The Arsenal is +170, offering a chance to win $170 on a $100 wager.

The implied probability attached to the betting lines gives Newcastle a 40.82% chance to win, with Arsenal at 37.04%.
