Arsenal are in fine form at the moment, and will look to punish North London rivals Spurs for their slip up against Everton on Saturday. Arsenal are now within just four points of third placed Tottenham now, and can close to within one point with a solid win on Monday night. Arsenal have ran off four straight wins in the Premier League and and while they are still conceding goals, they look like much more of a cohesive side going forward at the moment. Yes, they do still heavily rely on Robin van Persie, who has scored six in the last four, but they are a more confidence looking side than back in January when they lost three matches in a row. There are still defensive issues for Arsenal, who are liable to give goals away, and in their last three matches they have had to come from behind to secure wins. But at home they have conceded on average just 0.84 goals per match, which is pretty good, especially weighted up against the fact that they are averaging 2.23 goals per game. Arsenal have scored in their last twelve home matches in the Premier League, but surprisingly, their most frequent home result this season has been 1-0 wins. There was of course the rousing Champions League display at the Emirates on Tuesday night, when the Gunners beat AC Milan 3-0, in an attempt to overturn a 4-0 first leg loss. So now the Champions League has gone, that great result should keep them firing along confidently in the Premier League race for a top four spot. Arsenal to get back Mikel Arteta and Aaron Ramsey back for selection, so they are getting stronger still. The Gunners will be favourite to keep up their good form, but will be a little cautious over Newcastle who are a difficult side to play against. Arsene Wenger would be delighted to see a clean sheet on the cards on Monday night, just to put the icing on the cake of some very good form.
The two sides played out a 0-0 draw at the start of the season, and since them, both sides have gone on to have respectable seasons. Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew has gotten Newcastle into the position of being a top six side and they continue to make a very good name for themselves. The Magpies will take a strong squad to the Emirates, with only Peter Lovenkrands being the big concern as he may miss the rest of the season. Newcastle could do with a win to cement their top six position in the Premier League, as they haven’t managed a win in their last three matches. There was a heavy defeat against Spurs, following by disappointing home draws against Wolves and Sunderland. But Newcastle do continue to put forth a great team effort and the threat of Demba Ba could cause the Arsenal back line some difficult moments. The Magpies have a W D3 L5 record away from home this season, and have lost three of their last four. So they aren’t in great shape there, and that is because they are conceding a lot away from home. They are averaging 1.85 goals against away from home, and that could spell danger with Robin van Persie lining up against them. But Magpies fans will remember the home fixture against Arsenal from last season, when Newcastle miraculously rescued a draw from being 4-0 down in the match. Newcastle are not in top form at the moment, and Arsenal are favourites to run off a win here.
