Newcastle v Arsenal Recommended Bet:
The Magpies found points just at the right time of the season, even though they have won one of their last five in the Premier League. That was an away win at QPR last week after falling behind from the penalty spot in the game. Newcastle are without a win in their last two home matches though, both ending in defeat, losing 3-0 against Sunderland in the Tyne and Wear derby, and then getting hammered 6-0 by Liverpool. Overall this season on home turf, Newcastle have posted a W9 D1 L8 record and there hasn’t been a league draw at St James Park in the last sixteen. Scoring from Newcastle at home hasn’t been great this season, they have converted at a rate of 1.3 goals per game, conceding at a rate of 1.6 per game. 72% of all of Newcastle’s home games have gone over 2.5 goals.
Newcastle suffered a massive 7-3 defeat at the hands of Arsenal earlier in the season. The Magpies have only won one of their last eleven Premier League matches against the Gunners (W1 D5 L5). They have failed to score in their last two home games as well, and the last time they went three in a row was back in 2007 (actually part of a six match no-scoring streak). Arsene Wenger’s men will be favourite for this one, not only because they have to push for a result to secure a Champions League spot, but because they have won their last four away matches in a row as well. A midweek win over Wigan, relegating the Latics, saw the Gunners leave themselves in fourth place, just a point ahead of Spurs, and only two behind Chelsea.
There is the scenario, that if Chelsea draw and Arsenal win by a one goal margin (all depending on how many goals the Blues score) that the Gunners and Chelsea would finish with identical records for the season and have to face in each other in a play off for third. Arsenal have been great in the second half of matches this season, if only second half results counted, they would be top of the league. The Gunners are currently on a nine match unbeaten streak in the Premier League, winning seven of them. With five wins in their last six away matches in the top flight, they are going strongly enough to return three points. Arsenal have scored at a rate of 1.3 goals per game on the road this season, but defensively they have been great, superb, conceding at a rate of just 0.8 per away game.
Chelsea v Everton Preview
The Gunners have scored in each of their last eleven away matches now and have a good record going against the Magpies. Should be an away win at the end of the day and just worth rolling with the Gunners at 4/7 with online bookmaker Paddy Power
