The penultimate fixture of the Premier League weekend sees Arsenal face Newcastle away from home.

After last week’s 1-1 draw with Manchester City, the Gunners could find themselves eight points behind league leaders Liverpool come kick-off, thus highlighting the importance of a win.

That will be easier said than done as Mikel Arteta’s side are coming up against a Newcastle team that have proven difficult to break down in the Premier League so far this season, conceding just three goals.

Though, Eddie Howe is still searching for the right formula in attack following the departure of Alexander Isak in the summer and will hope the four goals scored in midweek against Bradford is a sign of things to come.

Two of the meanest defences in the league are set to do battle in arguably the standout fixture from England’s top-flight this weekend.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Newcastle vs Arsenal is scheduled for a 4.30pm BST kick-off on Sunday, September 28, 2025.

The match will take place at St James’ Park.

Newcastle vs Arsenal team news

Newcastle can welcome Anthony Gordon back after the England international served a three-game domestic suspension for his red card in the loss to Liverpool last month.

The forward will bolster the home side’s attacking options especially with Deadline Day signing Yoane Wissa still sidelined with a knee injury sustained on international duty.

Howe has rotated heavily in the past two games but is expected to hand starts to the likes of Nick Pope, Sandro Tonali, Nick Woltemade and Valentino Liveramento, while Joe Willock is pushing to feature against his former club.

Arsenal’s injury crisis has deepened with conformation that Noni Madueke set to miss a number of weeks with a knee injury sustained in the 1-1 draw with Man City.

The winger joins Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz on the sidelines, though Bukayo Saka is fine despite being on the receiving end of a heavy tackle in the Carabao Cup win over Port Vale.

Eberechi Eze is expected to start having contributed a goal and an assist on his last two appearances, while Martin Odegaard could be available for selection after missing the last three games with a shoulder problem.

Newcastle vs Arsenal prediction

Arsenal haven’t had much joy in their recent trips to St James’ Park. In fact, they haven’t scored on their last three visits - something that will have to change if they’re to avoid losing more ground on Liverpool.

Newcastle’s struggles in front of goal at the moment may play into the Gunners’ favour and we think a cagey affair will be settled by one moment of magic.

Arsenal to win, 1-0.
