Arsenal made it five consecutive Premier League victories when they thrashed Burnley 5-0 last weekend. However, they suffered a last-minute defeat in the Champions League on Wednesday night, so they will be keen to return to winning ways against an inconsistent Newcastle side.

Gunners to fire quickly to secure another league win
Arsenal have been in sensational form since returning from the winter break. A 5-0 win at Burnley was not only their fifth consecutive win, but it also brought their goal tally to 21 during this period.
This run of fearsome displays positions them as the favourite to be the winner of this match at odds of just 1.37 with Bet9ja. The Gunners have led at half time in five of their home wins this season. Newcastle have lost in four of their away league defeats.
Bet 1: Arsenal/Arsenal HT/FT @ 1.91 with Bet9ja
Gunners to back Magpies into a corner
A regular theme for Arsenal’s games this season has been the high number of corners they have taken. Looking at the stats for home league games, we can see only Manchester United have taken more than the Gunners’ 95 flag kicks this campaign.
Mikel Arteta’s side average 7.92 corners per home league game and have taken at least eight on seven occasions. The last head-to-head took place in November and Arsenal took 11 corners that day.
Bet 2: Over 7 Arsenal Corners @ 2.10 with bet365
Saka the man to back
I have to include Bukayo Saka in the tips for this game, given his current red-hot form in the league. After going five games without a goal in December, just like his side, the winter break has worked wonders.
The England international scored two goals for the second consecutive game in the win at Burnley. With six goals in his last four league outings, coupled with his role as Arsenal’s penalty taker, Saka has even more chance of appearing on the scoresheet once again.
Bet 3: Bukayo Saka to score @ 2.50 with Bet9ja
Dan may feel the Burn against the tricky winger
For the last of my predictions, I want to exploit a real weakness in the Newcastle lineup. Dan Burn has been targeted for his lack of speed in recent weeks. Also, he has encountered lots of problems against small, tricky, technically wide players. None fit that description better than his opponent here, Bukayo Saka.
The last time these two sides met was in November at St James Park and Saka was fouled five times. Burn started the game and committed two of those fouls. Yet, he had such a tough time he was substituted at half-time.
Bet 4: Dan Burn Over 1.5 Fouls Committed @ 2.37 with bet365
