Newcastle United swept past a poor Manchester United side to the tune of 3-0 in the EFL Cup earlier this week and confidence will be high in the home side ahead of the visit of Arsenal on Saturday evening.
Manchester United lost their grip on their Carabao Cup crown when they collapsed to an inspired Newcastle United side on Wednesday evening, the Magpies completely avenging their Wembley woes by recording their best win at Old Trafford in 93 years. There was a sense of doom and gloom at the Theatre of Dreams as Eddie Howe’s men inflicted upon the Red Devils their second successive 3-0 home defeat, thus bringing to an end their own two-game winless run which consisted of a 1-0 Champions League defeat to Borussia Dortmund and a 2-2 Premier League draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The Magpies are more than capable of following this up by putting a sizeable dent in Arsenal’s Premier League title aspirations this weekend while at the same time boosting their own bid for glory. The Magpies have triumphed in each of their last three home league games without leaking a single goal, therefore making them very much a force to be reckoned with on Tyneside.
Arsenal’s bid to claim their first EFL Cup since 1993 went up in smoke when they put in a shoddy display at the London Stadium last night, hosts West Ham United emerging as deserved 3-1 victors. Nevertheless, Mikel Arteta’s men have yet to taste defeat in the Premier League this term and head into this match on the back of a 5-0 thrashing of Sheffield United.
The Gunners are enjoying an excellent rearguard streak on their travels and we envisage them keeping things tight at the back once again on Saturday evening, however the likelihood is that the home side will find a way through at some point. Similarly, the visitors should add to the scoreline in what has all the makings of being a low-scoring draw.
