Newcastle vs Arsenal Prediction 02.11.2024 | Premier League

• Competition: Premier League
• Date: 02.11.2024
• Kickoff: 12:30 UK / 13:30 CEST
• Venue: St. James' Park (Newcastle)

Newcastle finally found a bit of relief in the EFL Cup with a 2-0 win over Chelsea after a tough stretch in the Premier League. Chelsea were missing key players like Palmer, so the result wasn’t exactly unexpected. Still, Newcastle badly need to pick up a league win soon, having gone five matches without one, and there’s a worrying trend developing. The team is feeling the impact of missed opportunities in the transfer market, where they failed to strengthen as needed.

Meanwhile, Arsenal missed out on a win against Liverpool last weekend, slipping further behind both City and Liverpool in the race. However, they did manage a win over Preston in the EFL Cup, which will boost morale. Arteta has a promising squad full of talent, though the question remains how much he can get out of them. A title push might be a stretch this season, but Arsenal are still gunning for trophies. How they handle the next few months will shape the rest of their campaign.

Newcastle vs Arsenal pick: OVER 2.5 GOALS

Arsenal hasn’t had much success at this stadium in recent seasons, with matches typically low-scoring. Newcastle has been solid at home over the past two seasons, but they’re now facing issues with key defenders like Botman, Trippier, and Lascelles sidelined. On the other hand, Isak scored in their last match and could be a real threat for Raya, who has conceded at least one goal in each of his last five Premier League games. We’re expecting a more open match with three or more goals.
