Bet on Arsenal vs Newcastle

Will Arteta’s Men Keep Up Their Unbeaten Home Record?

After dropping two points at Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League at the weekend, Arsenal will be eager to bounce back with a cup win in midweek. Before the draw at the Amex Stadium, Mikel Arteta’s men had won four in a row in all competitions.

The London side saw off Bolton Wanderers and Preston North End in the early rounds of this season’s EFL Cup. In the quarter-finals, Arsenal edged past Crystal Palace at the Emirates, nicking a 3-2 win.

Newcastle are desperate to get their hands on a trophy, and the Magpies have been solid in the EFL Cup so far. After squeezing past Nottingham Forest on penalties, United have beaten Wimbledon, Chelsea, and Brentford.

Eddie Howe’s troops head to London in fine fettle. Since a 4-2 league loss at Brentford a month ago, Newcastle have won six league and cup matches on the spin. Can they extend that impressive winning run on Tuesday?

Recent Arsenal vs Newcastle United Head-to-Head Meetings

The pair played out a tight encounter at St James’ Park in the Premier League in early November. Alexander Isak’s 12^th-minute strike was enough to give the Magpies a hard-fought 1-0 win.

Arsenal hammered Newcastle 4-1 when they last met at the Emirates, with Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka among the goals. This will be the first EFL Cup meeting since October 2010, which the Gunners won 4-0 at St James’.
