Newcastle United vs Arsenal Prediction, lineups and live stream

Newcastle United prepares to host Arsenal at St. James' Park , anticipation builds among fans and analysts alike. Both teams are seeking crucial points in the Premier League after inconsistent starts to the season. Arsenal aims to recover from two consecutive matches without a victory, while Newcastle is also eager for a win following a slow beginning (Cormack, 2024). The atmosphere at St. James' Park is expected to be electric, as Newcastle historically proves difficult to beat on home soil.

Still, three points for Mikel Arteta’s side at St James’ Park would see them move within one point of the Reds as well as two off current leaders Manchester City and they warmed up for the journey with a 3-0 victory at Preston in the Carabao Cup.

Hosts Newcastle are a formidable opponent at home but have endured a difficult start to the season and last week lost 2-1 to Chelsea before getting their revenge against the Blues in a 2-0 Carabao Cup victory on Wednesday night.

Newcastle United possible starting lineup: Pope; Livramento, Schar, Burn, Hall; Tonali, Guimaraes, Joelinton; Barnes, Isak, Gordon

Arsenal possible starting lineup: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Timber; Rice, Partey; Saka, Trossard, Martinelli; Havertz
