In what promises to be an exhilarating football showdown, Newcastle United is gearing up to host Arsenal at St James’ Park, and the stage is set for a gripping contest. Arsenal is putting their impressive 10-game unbeaten run at the start of the season on the line as they face an in-form Newcastle United. The Magpies have been riding high after a resounding 3-0 victory over Manchester United on Wednesday.

Historically, trips to St James’ Park have been kind to Arsenal, who have emerged victorious in eight of their last 10 visits. In fact, only the Red Devils have managed more Premier League away wins against Newcastle than Arsenal’s 13.

The last time Arsenal clinched victory at St James’ Park was back in April, and they’ll be eager to replicate that success. However, Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United has proven to be a formidable force on home soil, suffering league defeats on just three occasions since the start of last season. The Magpies are currently riding high on a wave of confidence, having secured victories in each of their last three home games without conceding a goal.

Newcastle United vs Arsenal: A Strong Contender

Newcastle United had a remarkable campaign last season, finishing fourth in the Premier League, and they’ve continued to impress this season. They’ve made waves by eliminating both Manchester clubs from the Carabao Cup and posting emphatic wins against Sheffield United and Aston Villa, with scores of 8-0 and 5-1, respectively. The pinnacle of their achievements was a historic 4-1 thrashing of Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.

All of these feats came on the back of a slow start to the season, where they lost three of their opening four games. However, Newcastle United has since gone unbeaten in their following eight domestic fixtures. With 26 Premier League goals scored in just 10 games, they have showcased an impressive attacking prowess. They also boast the best shot conversion rate in the league at 18.6 percent and rank second in expected goals with a total of 22.1.

In Europe, Newcastle United has shown their mettle by holding AC Milan to a draw at the San Siro and stunning PSG. However, a narrow 1-0 home defeat to Borussia Dortmund has amplified the importance of the upcoming return fixture in Germany.

This clash between Newcastle United and Arsenal promises to be a spectacle for football fans. The encounter is scheduled for today at 5:30 p.m. Nigerian time, and fans around the world are eager to witness this thrilling battle. Arsenal supporters can catch all the action on Arsenal.com.
