Newcastle United Seek to Extend Home Winning Streak Against Arsenal in Premier League Clash
Newcastle’s Impressive Home Record Against Arsenal
Newcastle United aim to continue their formidable home performance against Arsenal, having secured victories in their last three encounters across all competitions without conceding a goal. The Magpies last achieved a four-match winning streak at home against the Gunners in August 1969. Arsenal, under Mikel Arteta, have faced more away defeats at Newcastle (four) than anywhere else, except Manchester City.
Defensive Strengths and Offensive Challenges for Newcastle
Boasting four clean sheets in five Premier League games this season, Newcastle’s defense has been rock-solid, conceding only to Liverpool in a 3-2 defeat. Despite this defensive prowess, scoring remains a challenge, with the Magpies failing to hit the net in three of their five matches.
- Newcastle’s shot conversion rate stands at a modest 5.6%, slightly ahead of Aston Villa’s 1.9%.
- Despite creating opportunities, players like Anthony Gordon have struggled to score, tallying 10 shots and an xG of 1.1 without a goal.
Arsenal’s Away Game Performance
Arsenal’s away form remains strong, losing only one of their last 16 Premier League fixtures. The Gunners’ recent away defeat came at Liverpool, and history shows they rarely lose consecutive away games, with prior instances seeing the second loss at Newcastle.
Key Players to Watch
- Arsenal’s Viktor Gyökeres leads in applying pressure, with notable figures in the final third and opposition penalty area.
- Newcastle’s Harvey Barnes is on the cusp of his 50th Premier League goal, yet he is still searching for his first against Arsenal.
Milestones and Achievements
Bukayo Saka stands on the verge of a significant milestone, poised to become the eighth player to contribute to 100 goals for Arsenal in the Premier League. At 24 years and 23 days, he could become the second youngest, trailing only Cesc Fàbregas.
