Arsenal failed to keep their winning streak going but still got a point in their last match. They will now look to take advantage of the visitors’ bad run when they will host Newcastle on Monday. Newcastle are coming off another loss and have been in really rough shape lately.

Arsenal (7-8-3) are coming off a lukewarm performance at home against Crystal Palace. While they did create a lot of chances, they just couldn’t score and eventually split the points in a goal-less draw. Prior to that they beat Newcastle in the extra time of the FA Cup match and they are now undefeated in their last five (3-0-2). Arsenal have climbed to the 11th spot of the league table with 24 points, nine points behind the top-four.

Newcastle (5-8-4) saw an early red card in their away match against Sheffield United and eventually conceded a penalty kick to lose by 0-1. Prior to that they were eliminated by Arsenal in the FA Cup and they are now win-less in their last eight matches in all competitions (0-5-3). Newcastle are 15th in the Premier League with 19 points, scoring 18 and conceding 27 goals in the process.

Arsenal won both matches with clean sheets against Newcastle last season, and have now won five in a row and 13 of the last 14 Premier League matches against them. Moreover, they have only lost once as hosts in the last 19 years. Going with Arsenal here.
