A lean 2019/20 season only ended in a conciliatory manner for Arsenal FC because the 14th overall victory in the FA Cup could be celebrated. So the Londoners moved into the Europa League, in which they won all six games in the preliminary round. At the national level, however, the selection of Mikel Arteta showed a completely different face. The Gunners are currently only in eleventh place in the Premier League.
The magpies must not be carelessly written off. Steve Bruce’s team has been waiting for another win across all competitions for six competitive games but was at least able to annoy Liverpool in a goalless draw recently.
We trust Newcastle to do a similarly consistent defensive work in the FA Cup. There is a lot of value in this exciting cup game between Arsenal and Newcastle in the tip that a maximum of two goals will be scored.
Arsenal – Stats & current form
Arsenal Football Club recovered recently after a poor start to the season. An upturn that was closely related to Alexandre Lacazette’s regained scoring pleasure. The attacker recently scored in four competitive games in a row.
The Gunners have won all of the last three league games, which, in addition to the Lacazette goals, was also due to the newly won defensive stability. Arsenal only conceded one goal in their games against Chelsea, Brighton and West Brom.
Traditionally strong in the FA Cup
The Gunners have not yet pulled their heads out of the loop with this.
- “It’s great to have won the last three games. The mentality, the energy and the vibe are always better after wins. I feel better myself too. ” – Mikel Arteta on the club’s website
In the Premier League, despite the upswing, only a sobering eleventh place in the table is on record. The gap to the Europa League starting place, which Manchester City has, which still have two catch-up games up their sleeves, is already six points.
It is all the more important that the Londoners’ streak continues for as long as possible, especially since the FA Cup could again represent a tried-and-tested means to get the ticket for Europe. The Gunners won the most important English cup for the 14th time in summer 2020, making them the country’s record cup winners.
A game of patience against defensively strong Magpies?
It is precise with this self-image that the home game against the Magpies has to be played, in which Arsenal are the clear favourites after the latest winning streak.
Against defensively well-positioned guests, it could still be a game of patience for the selection of Mikel Arteta, who must not lose sight of the rotation with the tight schedule. Against the background of the low odds for tip 1, a bet on a game with few goals appears to be the better choice.
The probable lineup of Arsenal:
↳ Leno – Tierney – Marí – Holding – Bellerin – Xhaka – Ceballos – Aubameyang – Smith Rowe – Saka – Lacazette

Newcastle – Stats & current form
Newcastle United Football Club finished a successful preseason in 13th place. Not only were the Magpies able to keep practically all top performers, but they also strengthened themselves sustainably on the transfer market. Top transfer Callum Wilson is the undisputed top scorer in Steve Bruce’s selection with eight goals and three assists.
In terms of sport, the kickers from the north-east of the country are not doing particularly well. The Magpies are only 15th after the latest series of five league games in a row without a win.
Eight points ahead of a relegation zone
Because the gap to the first relegation zone is still a comfortable eight points, there is still no need to panic in Newcastle. A sense of achievement in the FA Cup, which the Magpies were able to win six times in their long and successful history, could nevertheless usher in the trend reversal.
The kickers from England’s northeast only defied reigning champions Liverpool FC in a goalless draw on December 30, 2020, and showed that they can still keep up with the big players in the league.
The fifth worst offensive in the Premier League
The big construction site is still the offensive. The only 18 goals in league operations certify the Magpies the fifth weakest attack in the entire Premier League. This is also an important point for giving Arsenal a tip for a low-goal match against Newcastle.
After all, the tactical alignment of the black and white should be very easy to predict: stand stable at the back and hope for Wilson at the front. And because Arsenal will certainly want to avoid one of the annoying replay games that would be scheduled in a draw due to the busy schedule, this matching plan could work out exactly.
The probable lineup of Newcastle:
↳ Darlow – Ritchie – Schär – Fernández – Yedlin – Joelinton – M. Longstaff – S. Longstaff – Almirón – Wilson
