Newcastle vs Arsenal Prediction: Lineups, Odds and Stats

*Odds are subject to change.

Newcastle take on Arsenal at St James’ Park as we head into gameweek 6 of the 2025-6 English Premier League (EPL) campaign.

Kick off is scheduled for 4:30 pm on Sunday, 28 September 2025. Referee Jared Gillett will be the chief match official.

Match Prediction

If you believe Newcastle can grab a point, 3.50 is available. But I’ll go for Arsenal to win at 2.15 (Coral). Even this early in the campaign, Arsenal need to keep pace with Liverpool in the league standings. So, I expect an attacking away performance from Mikel Arteta’s side. The Gunners boss will note how Barcelona recently dominated possession to beat Newcastle. Arsenal can use that blueprint to take 3 points.

The alternative pick is Both Teams To Score “No” at 2.0 (Betfred), marginally better priced than BTTS “Yes at 1.85. Both teams have good defences, with a combined 5 goals conceded in 5 outings. So, we could witness a low-scoring encounter.

Newcastle Analysis

Newcastle’s mood is cautiously optimistic. Eddie Howe is looking to move on from the Alexander Isak transfer drama. At the same time, it is fostering a renewed team spirit with new signings Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa.

Apart from the recent 3-2 home defeat to Liverpool, the Magpies have 4 clean sheets in 5 league matches. They’ve drawn all 3 away games 0-0, including in gameweek 5 at Bournemouth.

Newcastle have scored 9 and conceded 6 from their last 5 EPL matches, suggesting a problem converting chances into goals. Now Eddie Howe looks to integrate his new-style attack, earn more points and move up the standings. They’ll be looking to build on positive recent home performances. The 13 September 1-0 win versus Wolves, and Wednesday’s 4-1 EFL Cup win over Bradford showed promise.

The Magpies’ injury concerns are Jacob Ramsey (ankle) and Fabian Schar (head). Both are ruled out until sometime in October. Yoane Wissa (knee) is in line to return after the October international break. Newcastle have no suspended squad players.
