Newcastle vs Arsenal Betting Tips for a 12/1 Bet Builder – Bookings and Shots on Target Tips

Making a crucial return to winning ways earlier in the week as they breezed past Chelsea thanks to a 3-1 romp, Arsenal face what could be a season-deciding trip to St. James’ Park on Sunday afternoon.

Knowing that they are in a real uphill battle in their bid to dethrone Manchester City and claim a first Premier League crown since 2004, the Gunners can’t afford any more slip-ups.

However, only continuing on what has been a famous campaign in the north east, Newcastle find themselves sat firmly in pole position to claim a stunning Champions League ticket.

Now winning eight of their previous nine top-flight appearances, Sunday’s hosts have also found a major clinical edge since returning from March’s international break.

Ahead of a showdown that could decide where this season’s Premier League title will be heading, we have created your ultimate Newcastle vs Arsenal bet builder.

 

Odegaard at his influential best

While many might have been surprised to see Mikel Arteta appoint Martin Odegaard as Arsenal’s full-time captain last year, the 24-year-old has only continued to flourish since taking on his extra responsibilities.

Now rightfully regarded among Europe’s most talented midfield stars, the Norwegian international has arguably been the key factor behind Arsenal’s shock title charge this season.

Bagging a classy brace as the Gunners stormed their way to a 3-1 victory against Chelsea in midweek, Odegaard has now scored four Premier League goals in as many appearances.

Also, along with having 86 Premier League shots this season – the sixth most of any top-flight star – the ex-Real Madrid starlet has also had the most shots of any Arsenal player so far this year.

Leading the chase to lift Arsenal’s Golden Boot this season, Odegaard is also averaging 0.9 shots on target per Premier League outing.

Recording a shot on target in nine of his previous 10 Premier League appearances, fans around north London will know that the PFA Player of the Year contender has a crucial role to play this weekend.

Wilson to test a leaky Arsenal defence

Although summer arrival Alexander Isak might have made an immediate impact since arriving at St. James’ Park, it has been Callum Wilson who has stolen many of the headlines for his extended free-scoring run.

Including two goals in Newcastle’s 3-1 victory against Southampton last weekend, the England international has now recorded a brace in his back-to-back Premier League appearances.

Bagging 15 top-flight goals for the Magpies this season – four more than any other Newcastle player – the one-time Bournemouth striker has also notched eight strikes since returning from March’s international break.

Averaging 1.1 shots on target per Premier League appearance this season, Wilson has also scored four goals in his last three showdowns at St. James’ Park.

Likewise, averaging a Premier League goal every 104 minutes, Wilson will be looking to test an Arsenal side that have shown some continued defensive struggles.

Watching Chelsea bag a consolation strike earlier in the week, it is worth highlighting that Sunday’s guests have failed to record a single clean sheet from their last eight appearances across all competitions.

Joelinton to walk another disciplinary tightrope

Although the likes of Wilson and Isak might have continued to spearhead Newcastle’s Champions League charge, it has been Joelinton who has gained a string of plaudits for what has been a remarkable revival under Eddie Howe.

Transforming into one of the Magpies’ key first-team stars this season, the ex-Hoffenheim forward has also gained a reputation for his rugged approach in the middle of the park.

However, despite becoming a real fan favourite around St. James’ Park, Joelinton is well-known to Premier League officials. Picking up 12 Premier League bookings this season, no top-flight player has received a yellow card on more occasions.

Likewise, including another booking in Newcastle’s 3-1 victory against Southampton last weekend, the 26-year-old has been shown eight domestic cards since opening 2023.

It should also be noted, Joelinton has received a booking in three of his last four Premier League appearances against top-six opposition.

Shown his customary booking when the Magpies travelled to north London for their reverse Premier League meeting on January 3rd, Joelinton could walk another disciplinary tightrope here.
