All odds are provided by our best football betting sites. Odds are subject to change. Arsenal vs Newcastle United predictions Arsenal will end another season empty-handed following their elimination from the Champions League last week. Mikel Arteta won the FA Cup during his first few months at the helm, but that was with a very different squad. Bukayo Saka is the only surviving member of the group that beat Chelsea at Wembley Stadium in May 2020. There is no doubt that Arsenal have made great strides since then. Arteta has turned them from top-four outsiders into title challengers. Arsenal finished as Premier League runners-up in 2022/23 and 2023/24, edged out by Manchester City both times. A win this weekend would secure second spot for a third season on the bounce. Yet questions are beginning to be asked about whether Arteta is the manager under whom Arsenal will make the next step. For now, he deserves the benefit of the doubt. It is worth remembering that Arteta had to change the entire culture at the club before he could start to put his stamp on the team on the field. In 2022/23, when Arsenal led the way for much of the campaign before being overtaken by City late on, they played some fantastic football. Last season they allied that with greater defensive solidity, becoming a more balanced side in the process. This term, they have gone backwards. It is undeniable that injuries have not helped. Key players like Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Magalhaes have spent substantial time on the treatment table. Yet the statistics bear out Arsenal’s regression. Even if they were to win their last two games, the Gunners would finish on 74 points – 15 fewer than they collected last season. Their football has at times been overly rigid. Arsenal have become more reliant on set-pieces and direct play. They have drawn too many matches: 14 compared to Liverpool’s eight. That more than anything has determined the destination of the title. Arsenal showed their battling qualities last weekend, coming from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Liverpool at Anfield. They can no longer win a piece of silverware, but Arsenal will still want to finish the season strongly ahead of what looks set to be a massive summer at the Emirates.

Anthony Gordon to score any time
Eddie Howe switched things up against Chelsea last weekend, employing a 3-4-2-1 formation as a way to get Gordon back into the team without sacrificing either Harvey Barnes or Jacob Murphy.
Murphy moved to right wing-back, allowing Gordon and Barnes to slot in behind Alexander Isak.
It remains to be seen whether or not Howe will stick with that system on Sunday. Although Newcastle beat Chelsea, they were put under pressure in the second half.
It is hard to see Gordon missing out, though, and the England international will be determined to make an impact.
The odds on him scoring are longer than usual given his recent absence. Bettors should take advantage.
