The Premier League heats up this weekend as Arsenal take on Newcastle United at the Emirates Stadium in a high-stakes encounter on Sunday. With both teams battling at the top end of the table, this match could have major implications for the title race and Champions League qualification.
Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal have been one of the most consistent teams this season, currently sitting second in the Premier League standings. The Gunners have showcased impressive attacking football and defensive solidity, though they were recently held to a 2-2 draw against Liverpool, a result that halted their winning momentum.
Newcastle United have continued to impress under Eddie Howe and currently occupy third place in the table. The Magpies come into this clash on the back of a solid 2-0 win over Chelsea, showing confidence and clinical finishing.
