Newcastle United and Arsenal clash in a massive Premier League game on Sunday afternoon.

Eddie Howe’s side have only won one of their opening five Premier League games and could do with a statement performance at St James’ Park.

Indeed, there are reasons to be confident too. Newcastle boast a very strong record against the Gunners at home in recent seasons, so they have little reason to fear. 

Mikel Arteta’s side are already five points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool in the title race and were held to a draw by Manchester City last time out.

It’s a huge game for both clubs, so here’s everything you need to know.

Newcastle United vs Arsenal prediction

It remains difficult to know where the goals are coming from for Newcastle. Woltemade has impressed but expecting him to lead the line against one of the Premier League’s best teams feels somewhat unrealistic.

Arsenal are certainly capable of scoring goals but so much has been made about Arteta supposedly playing with the handbrake on.

With that in mind, it’s hard to see a particularly high-scoring game unfolding.

Score prediction: Newcastle United 1-1 Arsenal
