Newcastle Utd vs Arsenal

For matchday 37 of the English Premier League, Newcastle welcomes Arsenal in St. James' Park.

Newcastle couldn't match Manchester City in the previous round and inevitably suffered a heavy 5-0 defeat on the road. As the final score indicates, they could not look competitive at any time and conceded 2 goals in the first half and 3 in the replay, and they were easily defeated by the Premier League champions.

However, this defeat didn't affect Newcastle at all, after 36 games they are in 14th place with 43 points and are now standing clear of the relegation battle.

Arsenal wasn't competitive at all in their midweek game, they lost comfortably 0-3 in the London derby against Tottenham Everything went wrong in the first half, not only conceding twice but also remaining with a player short. At the beginning of the replay, they conceded a third goal while could have conceded more goals later.

After yesterday's victory of Tottenham over Burnley, Arsenal fell back to 5th place with 66 points and is looking for two victories in the remaining 3 matches to secure a top four spot in the standings that drives directly to the group stage of the next season's UEFAChampions League.

Newcastle goes to their last home game for this season without any anxiety. Unlike Arsenal, which has a huge motivation but they are not so convincing in the last matches. I think we will see an open match with many chances and goals, my pick is the Over 2.5 goals alternative, offered at 1.80 odds.
