Arsenal vs Newcastle United prediction

Arsenal may be going through a rough patch but Newcastle at the Emirates is basically a free hit. The Magpies haven't won here since 2010 and managed just one goal in their last nine visits — that's not form, that's a mental block. Arsenal get key reinforcements back with Saka and Calafiori returning to the squad, while Newcastle rock up without Anthony Gordon, Tino Livramento and Joelinton. Their away form has been shocking all season and they've lost their last three league games. Yes, Arsenal have been inconsistent lately, but they're still top of the table fighting for the title. Newcastle are mid-table and going nowhere. The historical head-to-head is so lopsided it's embarrassing. I'd back Arsenal to win — this feels like one of those games where class tells and home advantage matters.
