The Premier League is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Mikel Arteta's Arsenal take on a struggling Newcastle United outfit at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
Arsenal vs Newcastle United Preview
Arsenal are in fifth place in the Premier League standings and have staged a recovery after a poor start to their season. The Gunners slumped to a 4-0 defeat against Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool juggernaut in their previous game and will want to bounce back this weekend.
Newcastle United, on the other hand, are a club in turmoil and are in desperate need of a string of victories at the moment. The Magpies are rooted to the bottom of the league table at the moment but did manage a 3-3 draw against Brentford last week.

Arsenal vs Newcastle United Prediction
Arsenal have been fairly impressive under Mikel Arteta this season and will be intent on a top-four finish in the coming months. The Gunners have built a formidable squad this year and will need to take all three points away from this fixture.
Newcastle United, on the other hand, are struggling to cope with their issues both on and off the pitch and cannot afford another debacle this weekend. Arsenal are the better team at the moment, however, and should be able to win this game.
Prediction: Arsenal 3-1 Newcastle United
