Arsenal vs Newcastle prediction: How will Premier League match play out today?

Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal take on Newcastle this weekend searching for a result to boost their run-in.

Despite signs of the drastic changes called for by the Spaniard, results have failed to change since Unai Emery was dismissed. 

Now 10 points behind Chelsea in fourth, time is running out for Arsenal to salvage their season. 

Meanwhile, Newcastle, who are level with the Gunners in 10th, appear set for a stress-free end to the season with a seven-point cushion above the drop zone.

Prediction 

Arsenal have won just once in the Premier League since Mikel Arteta took over, so now seems like a good time to change that, given their performances have shown glimpses of taking on board the instructions from their new coach. Newcastle will undoubtedly be stubborn, but we’ll look to the Gunners to edge home, 1-0.
