Newcastle United vs Arsenal: Chris Sutton, a former Chelsea striker, thinks Newcastle United will beat Arsenal on May 7 at St. James’s Park in the Premier League. At this time, Arsenal is no longer ahead of Manchester City in the Premier League championship battle. They were first for almost 200 days. But now they’re in second place, one point behind the Cityzens, with 78 points. If Pep Guardiola and company win the game that they have in hand, they will increase their advantage to four points.
The Gunners’ sole chance of a trophy now is to win their remaining four games and hope that Manchester City will make a mistake. In Newcastle, they’ll be up against a team that has won four of its previous five league games and is in fine form. The Magpies are third in the table with 65 points. They will most likely make it into the Champions League.
Chris Sutton thinks Newcastle will pull off a 2-1 home win against Arsenal. To achieve success, Mikel Arteta and company will need to perform at the highest possible level. If Arsenal were to lose any more games, then Manchester City would very certainly maintain their championship.
Newcastle United vs Arsenal: Chris Sutton Makes A Weird Prediction For Arsenal Ahead Of Their Game Against Newcastle United
Sutton said: “I was at Emirates Stadium on Tuesday and Arsenal were very good – but there is an argument that Chelsea made them look very good. I thought Gunners defender Jakub Kiwior had a really good game against the Blues, but stopping an in-form Newcastle side is a much bigger ask. The way the Magpies take the game to teams is great to watch and there is no way whatsoever this one will end goalless again, like it did when they met in January. Arsenal need to keep winning to keep the pressure up on Manchester City, and a draw is not enough for them. Sadly for them, I can see Newcastle nicking this and continuing their impressive form.”

Arteta praised Martin Odegaard
Gunners manager Mikel Arteta praised team captain Martin Odegaard for his contributions as an attacker before Arsenal’s match against Newcastle. Moreover, on May 2, Odegaard scored a goal in a 3-1 victory against Chelsea at the Emirates. The Gunners’ winning streak was restored thanks to the Norweigians’ two spectacular first-half goals.
Arteta revealed that his team plays with the intention of helping the midfielders by noting that all of his goals came from late runs into the area.
Arteta said in the pre-match press conference ahead of the game against Newcastle United: “That’s something our attacking midfielders have to have the ability to do, and that’s why we play in a certain way to exploit those spaces. Martin has the capacity to do that, he’s finding himself in those positions and then he is being very effective in the final action. It’s something very important for us.”
Odegaard’s contributions to the Gunners’ championship bid have been crucial. In 41 games this year, their captain has contributed to 14 goals and eight assists.
