THE PREDICTION
This is the ultimately test of Arsenal’s capabilities. Gain three points in the St. James’ Park cauldron and they it will send out a huge message regarding the toughness and quality of this young squad both from a footballing and mental perspective. However, a Newcastle side with nothing to lose and a celebratory home crowd behind them on a Monday night make for a formidable opponent. Despite this, the Gunners will likely not be able to afford sitting back on a draw assuming Tottenham defeat Burnley the day before and as such will have to sacrifice some defensive stability whilst going forward. It’s incredibly difficult to call which way this match will go with all three outcomes very much on the table. Therefore, the smart play is to instead back both teams to score in what should prove a gripping encounter.
Tip: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
