• Venue: Emirates Stadium (London)

Arsenal and Newcastle are set to lock horns in a compelling Sunday showdown at the Emirates, with both sides aiming to take a big step toward Champions League qualification.

Mikel Arteta’s troops mounted a spirited second-half fightback to claw their way to a 2-2 stalemate at the fiery Anfield fortress against the reigning Premier League champions Liverpool, and that valuable point has put them within touching distance of securing a spot in Europe’s elite club competition.

On the flip side, Newcastle gave their Champions League bid a massive boost by comfortably brushing aside fellow top-five hopefuls Chelsea 2-0 in front of their own supporters, which lifted them to third in the standings although they still cling to just a three-point cushion over sixth-placed Aston Villa.

Arsenal vs Newcastle United Betting Tips : DRAW

It’s tough to separate two heavyweights in a clash of this magnitude, but a share of the spoils might suit both camps just fine, since pocketing a point apiece from Sunday’s showdown would all but seal their place in next season’s UEFA Champions League league phase. One of the key reasons behind Arsenal’s early surrender in the title race lies in their repeated involvement in stalemates this season, having racked up a staggering 14 draws from 36 outings which places them just behind Everton who have shared the spoils more often with 15. This campaign has seen Newcastle completely dominate the Gunners, racking up a perfect trio of wins in their meetings while silencing the North Londoners on each occasion, succumbing to a one-goal drubbing in the league before suffering a heavy 4-0 aggregate defeat in the EFL Cup. Counting all competitions, Arsenal have gone five games without tasting victory, but grabbing a point in the 2-2 draw against Liverpool could serve as a morale boost, however Newcastle are in top form and high spirits, so Arteta’s side might have to settle for their 15th draw of the season.
