Newcastle able to smash-and-grab success
Bruce can point to away wins at Tottenham and Sheffield United this season, in addition to gritty house successes towards Manchester United and Chelsea, both 1-0, as exhausting proof that his staff are very succesful on their day.
Newcastle will concede possession to Arsenal but they are going to be organised and difficult to interrupt down on the same time.
The residence facet must work very hard to get any gains in this game if Newcastle are at it on the day. At odds of 17/1, I wouldn’t be towards having a small guess on a 1-0 Newcastle win.
However, the Magpies have saved solely two clear sheets on their travels this season, so the chances are they’ll have to attain to get one thing out of this game, subsequently a 1-1 draw is favoured at 15/2.
Little separates these clubs by method of kind this season and the recent trends are the same, with seven factors (Arsenal) and 6 points (Newcastle) picked up from their last six video games apiece.
Gunners need Aubameyang to fire
If the house facet are to end their current run of frustrating stalemates, then they will rely on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to be the catalyst.
His 14-goal haul within the league this season places him behind solely Jamie Vardy and Sergio Aguero, a wonderful effort given the relative struggles of his team total.
The Gabon worldwide is responsible for 44% of Arsenal’s Premier League objectives thus far this term.
His tempo, power and finishing capability will give Newcastle an actual headache on Sunday and he’s probably the most dependable supply of joy if the hosts are going to interrupt down a black-and-white wall set as much as make their afternoon a frustrating one.
A breakthrough strike from Aubameyang early within the contest may rip up the script for this tussle and, if any Arsenal participant is prone to turn it on, he’s the one.
