Newcastle vs Arsenal Tips, Prediction & Live Stream


It's one of Newcastle's biggest games in recent memory as the Magpies prepare to host Arsenal in the second leg of the EFL Cup semi-finals at St James Park on Wednesday night.

Newcastle stunned Arsenal at the Emirates last month and enjoy a 2-0 advantage heading into the second leg, but I'm backing the Gunners to win this game and potentially even the tie. Newcastle's form has dipped off as of late, with Eddie Howe's team losing their last two home games 4-1 to Bournemouth and 2-1 against Fulham this past weekend. Arsenal meanwhile are flying after demolishing Man City 5-1 on the weekend and don't really have much to lose here - while Newcastle are continuing on their bid to win a first major domestic trophy since 1955.

  • Arsenal have won their last four games
  • Newcastle have lost their last two home games, conceding six goals
  • Arsenal have won four of their last five away games
  • Newcastle haven't won a major trophy since 1969 (1955 domestically) 

Head To Head


Newcastle have won both previous meetings this season to nil, prevailing 1-0 at home in the league in November before last month's 2-0 triumph in the first leg.

Newcastle Form


Newcastle were one of the form teams in the country over the holiday period and at one point, put a nine-match winning streak together - which included the first leg win over Arsenal.

Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon were at the forefront of Newcastle's outstanding form, but the team have stumbled in recent weeks.

Indeed, Newcastle suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat at home to Bournemouth and followed that up this past weekend with a 2-1 loss against Fulham, blowing an early advantage.

Arsenal Form


Arsenal bring a four-game winning streak into this encounter and will be confident of overturning their deficit at St James Park.

After taking care of Girona and Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League, along with a victory over Wolves in the EPL, Arsenal produced one of their best performances of the season this past weekend, crushing Man City 5-1 at the Emirates.

That performance lifted Arsenal to within six points of Liverpool and they will now be aiming to reach a first EFL Cup final since the 2017/18 season.

Verdict

Newcastle fans could be in for a nervous 90 minutes (and possibly more) on Wednesday night.

All the pressure is on the home side, while Arsenal can play freely knowing it's not the biggest deal if they are knocked out of this competition.

I'm backing Arsenal to come out on top and the $4.75 on offer for them to advance to the final is tempting too.
