Arsenal take on the visitors Newcastle in the round 19 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Tuesday, January 3rd at Emirates Stadium (London).
Arsenal are gradually raising their expectations for this season. Previously, the long-awaited achievement of the return to top-4 to be the limit of the possible. Because of that negative denouement, the current success of the London club has now been perceived with skepticism for a long time. But Zinchenko and the company stubbornly stamped victories, and as a result, they went on a long pause in November, not only in 1st place, but also with a 5-point lead over Manchester City. So now they are no longer talking about the fight for 3rd-4th place, but more and more often they are talking about the prospects for taking the title. Moreover, in December it turned out to confidently defeat West Ham - strong-willed 3-1, after losing the first half. With “Brighton”, on the contrary, they scored four times, and only then relaxed a little. But still won 4-2, and even increased the lead over Manchester City. who missed 2 points, allowing the modest “Everton” to snatch a draw.

Newcastle seems to have found a recipe for success. It is not that complicated: firstly, it is a rich owner who is ready to generously pay for right players - such was the fund from Saudi Arabia, especially against the background of its predecessor, Mike Ashley. Secondly, this is an intelligent mentor. Eddie Howe was not immediately able to show a bright result, but, most importantly, at a distance, the results he achieved are almost magical. First, in a situation where the “black and white” in the middle of the season, just a year ago, were hopeless outsiders, they made a breakthrough to the top of the table. And then, after a summer break, points were scored at the pace of a title contenders. The intermediate result was 3rd place before Christmas - only City and Arsenal had better performance. This December the wards Eddie Howe were able to start in the same style. At first, the young manager minimally beat his former charges, Bournemouth, 1-0 in the League Cup. And then on the road they defeated Leicester, when by the 32nd minute they scored three times. However, don't overestimate Newcastle. Still, this club is only growing, so it is noteworthy that a goalless draw with Leeds followed.
Arsenal had 8 wins in a row, however, once in the cup they had to wait for this extra time. But in May, Newcastle was finally able to win, and with confident score 2-0. Arsenal on fire and they should continue to churn out victories. Yes, Newcastle are good, but the Gunners will pick up the key to the visitors. We bet that the “Gunners” will win this meeting.
Prediction for the match: Arsenal to win.
