Match review Newcastle vs Arsenal, 10:30 p.m. September 28: Dangerous ground St James' Park

VHO - Commentary on the match Newcastle vs Arsenal, round 6 of the Premier League, trips to the Northeast often do not bring good memories for Arteta and his team.

Newcastle vs Arsenal form

The personnel problems have gradually subsided. Although they do not have the expected squad, Newcastle still have to move forward and aim for more positive results.

Excluding the 1-2 defeat in the reception of the very strong Barcelona, ​​the home team at St James' Park has shown some signs of improvement. In the last 3 appearances in the domestic arena, the young master of the Northeast has not lost, earning 2 wins and 1 draw.

In the middle of last week, Newcastle won a resounding 4-1 victory against lower-ranked Bradford City. In addition to the simple meaning of a ticket to the fourth round of the League Cup, the improved performance also helped The Magpies have the best mental preparation for the Super Sunday match.

At the moment, Newcastle is certainly not rated as highly as Arsenal. However, home advantage is still a factor that brings a lot of hope to coach Eddie Howe and his team.

In the last 12 times hosting guests at the domestic playground, the home team has only lost 2, drawn 1 and won 9. More notably, in the last 3 times hosting the Gunners, Newcastle has also won all, scoring 4 and not even conceding any goals.

With only 6 points from 5 matches, Newcastle is ranked 13th but is only 4 points behind second place Arsenal. A win would really contribute a lot of meaning to the home team.

But 1 point against a championship candidate like Arsenal is not a bad result. Prioritizing the solidity of the defense and waiting for the fast transition situations thanks to the penetrating ability of Gordon, Elanga, Tonali... will probably be the way coach Eddie Howe popularizes for his students.

Arsenal will not easily leave St James' Park with 3 full points

On the other side of the front line, Arsenal also just won 2-0 in the middle of the week in the third round of the League Cup. That result helped The Gunners extend their unbeaten streak to 4 matches.

Despite a string of positive results, coach Mikel Arteta and his team are still showing signs of losing ground in the title race. If they cannot win all three points in their visit to St James' Park, the London giants will likely lose second place and have their gap with Liverpool widened to more than five points.

The trip promises to be full of difficulties and storms awaiting the Gunners. In addition to the pressure from the race with The Kop, Coach Arteta himself and his students often struggle every time they travel to the Northeast. Remember, under the reign of the Spanish coach, St James' Park is considered the second most dangerous land, only behind Etihad.
