Tomorrow's match against Newcastle United will be a difficult but very important game for Arsenal. Eddie Howe is a coach I like a lot and he is generally successful but they haven't started this season very well. Newcastle will want to win at their home St. James' Park. Arsenal, on the other hand, have no chance but 3 points after consecutive points losses, defeat against Bournemouth and a draw against Liverpool. If they fail to win this game, both Manchester City and Liverpool can open the gap.
Arsenal will certainly try their best to win full points at home against Newcastle, but I agree that this will not be an easy match. Newcastle are in good form after their great win against Chelsea in the EFL Cup, so Arsenal cannot afford to relax in this home game.
The home match between Liverpool vs Brighton is also not easy. Brighton have often surprised many when they have played Liverpool in recent seasons. However, Liverpool won the last 2 Liverpool vs Brighton matches and this will definitely be something special for Liverpool. So Liverpool and Arsenal will both fight to win home and away this week, while Manchester City will do the same to stay at the top of the standings against Bournemouth.
I trust Arsenal in this match. They will win in a difficult away game and get 3 points. The local bookmaker has given odds of 1.77 for Arsenal to win. Other sites have odds closer to 1.90. I think this is a good option to consider. I don't see much risk compared to the reward.
Yes that's correct. Arsenal are favorites away from home, but should we underestimate Newcastle when Arsenal still have consistency problems with their performance?
