Arsenal vs Newcastle: League Double on the Line

0:00On April 25th, Arsenal set to host Newcastle in the Premier League, chasing a league double for the first time since the 2020-21 season after that. 2-1 win-up at St. James Park back in September. Newcastle's been winless in their last 13-a-way league games against Arsenal, drawing just one and losing 12 while they've only scored once, in their last nine trips to the Emirates. Digging deeper, Arsenal's already hit triple figures and goals against four other rivals this season, and they're closing in on 100 against. Newcastle 2, which could make them just the third team ever to reach that mark, versus five different opponents. Both squads are stumbling lately though. Arsenal dropped their last two league matches, one nailed down early in each, something they haven't seen in. 3 straight since April 2022. Newcastle's lost eight of their last 11 league games, more than anyone else since late January, and all their last nine have been decided by. Exactly one goal wins or losses. That puts them on the edge of rare company in Top Fly history, where only a few teams have shrunk together ten or more, such nail-biteers.

1:07Key players could swing it, Arsenal's win rate dips hard without Bukayosaka starting, 45% versus 73 with him in the lineup. While Newcastle's William Osula has scored in five league games, but lost more than half of them, a quirky record for the Magpies. April's been tricky for Michael Arteta's crew historically, with their worst points haul in big months, so this clash feels like a must-win to steady. The ship before the run-in heats up.
