Newcastle United will take on Arsenal this Saturday at St. James’ Park. Here is a rundown of the Newcastle vs Arsenal recent meeting in the Premier League.

Newcastle United will host Arsenal this Saturday at St. James’ Park in what is supposed to be a fantastic encounter between the two sides. Although the Magpies don’t have a great record in recent Newcastle vs Arsenal games at St. James’s Park, it is fair to say that this match will be a close game between two sides who are looking to qualify for the Champions League next season. Also, both teams are playing in this year’s Champions League.

Newcastle had a brilliant game in the midweek when they beat Manchester United 3-0 at Old Trafford. On the other hand, the Gunners had to supper a 3-1 loss to West Ham which knocked them out of the Carabao Cup. So, the Gunners will be looking to get back to winning ways in this game. So, here is a brief history of the recent meetings in the Premier League between Newcastle United and Arsenal.

Newcastle vs Arsenal: Premier League recent meetings (Last 5 matches)

In the last 5 Newcastle vs Arsenal matches, the Gunners have been triumphant on 3 occasions and the Magpies got over the line once. One of those games ended in a goalless draw. However, the interesting thing is that all the matches with results have ended in 2-0. The last time Newcastle United beat the Gunners at St. James’ Park was in May of 2022 when Ben White scored an own goal and Bruno Guimaraes extended the lead for the Geordies as the game finished 2-0 in favour of the Magpies. Newcastle United will be looking for something similar when the Gunners visit the Tyneside this weekend.

Do you think the Magpies can repeat that performance in this weekend’s Newcastle vs Arsenal game?
