Premier League 2018/19 Game week 5: Previews and Predictions

#3 Newcastle vs. Arsenal

Rafa Benitez's Newcastle is looking for their first win of the campaign

Standing at 18th position in the League table, things are not looking glossy for Newcastle United whose problems are not only reflected on the pitch but off as well with the board not backing the manager enough in the transfer market. The fans have also expressed their disgust towards the Newcastle hierarchy time and again.

But the game against Arsenal is an excellent chance to put all these dramas into bed. Last time Newcastle won this fixture 2-1 which might give Rafa Benitez's men some confidence going into the game at St. James Park. There may be some tactical twist, but both teams seem to go with the same team for the match. Unai Emery's men are coming from back-to-back victories and will be hoping to make it three in a row. However, the defense is still a concern for Arsenal who has failed to keep a clean sheet yet in this campaign. Peter Cech has looked vulnerable playing from the back, and any such mistakes could prove costly for the London outfit.

Prediction: Newcastle 1 - 3 Arsenal

#4 Bournemouth vs. Leicester City

Bournemouth will be looking to get back to winning ways.

It's tough to separate these two sides based on the quality and stats. Eddie Howe's team suffered their first league defeat of this campaign last time around against Chelsea while Leicester has won two and lost two from their first four games.

Claude Puel must be delighted with Harry Maguire signing a new contract and Demarai Gray getting a call to the England squad. Jamie Vardy will also be back from suspension. This game could be a cracker with both teams looking to attack and play on the front foot.

Prediction: Bournemouth 2 - 3 Leicester
