The Premier League is back in action with another set of important fixtures this week as Mikel Arteta's Arsenal take on a resurgent Newcastle United outfit at St. James' Park on Monday.


Newcastle United vs Arsenal Preview

Newcastle United are currently in 14th place in the Premier League standings and have improved after a poor start to their campaign. The Magpies suffered a damaging 5-0 defeat at the hands of Manchester City in their previous game and will need to bounce back this week.

Arsenal, on the other hand, are in fourth place in the league table at the moment and have been fairly impressive under Mikel Arteta. The Gunners suffered a severe blow to their top-four objectives after a 3-0 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur this week and have a point to prove in this match.

Newcastle United vs Arsenal Prediction

Arsenal have shown considerable improvement under Mikel Arteta this season but are now only a single point ahead of fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur. The Gunners have assembled a young squad this year and have a point to prove this weekend.

Newcastle United have experienced a stunning resurgence since the turn of the year and can pack a punch on their day. Arsenal are the better team on paper, however, and hold the upper hand going into this game.
