Newcastle United vs Arsenal Preview prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Premier League 2025-26

The Gunners emerged victorious when they last faced the Magpies.

Newcastle United are all set to lock horns with Arsenal for the matchweek 6 fixture of the 2025-26 English Premier League. This will be an interesting fixture, taking place at St. James’ Park.

The Magpies have started their new season on an average note, but the upcoming fixture is not going to be an easy task for them. Newcastle United have only been able to win one of their first five Premier League games of the new season. The Eddie Howe-led side haven’t been able to perform well against the Gunners in their last couple of meetings.

The Mikel Arteta-led side have started their season on a positive note. Arsenal have three of their five league games coming into the new season. They will be pushing for another win here, but they will be the visiting team. This can make things a bit tougher for them.

Kick-off:

• Location: Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England
• Stadium: St. James’ Park
• Date: Sunday, September 28
• Kick-off Time: 09:00 p.m. IST/ 03:30 p.m. GMT/ 11:30 a.m. ET/ 08:30 a.m. PT

Form:

Newcastle: D-W-L-D-W

Players to Watch

Nick Woltemade (Newcastle)

The 23-year-old forward will be looking to step up, so that he can help his side in the attacking front. Nick Woltemade has scored one goal in two Premier League games this season. The German player is still new to the league and is adapting to the style of play, but he has been impactful.

Viktor Gyokeres (Arsenal)

Viktor Gyokeres hasn’t been able to perform up to his standards. Even though he has scored three goals in five EPL appearances, he still has a lot to prove. The Swedish forward is going to be a constant threat to the opponent’s defence. A player of his calibre can help his side win the games single-handedly.

Match Facts

• The Gunners are on a two-match winning streak against Newcastle.
• Arsenal are undefeated in their last two matches.
