Prediction: 1-1
Newcastle
Second place in the Premier League standings will be at stake when Arsenal and Newcastle lock horns at Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon. The Gunners showed character in their last league match, with the team coming from two-goals behind to share the spoils with Liverpool, meaning that they are high on confidence ahead of Newcastle’s visit. Mikel Merino serves a one-game ban, while all Gabriel, Kai Havertz, and Gabriel Jesus remain in the treatment room.
The Magpies, on the other hand, recorded a routine 2-0 win over Chelsea at the weekend, with the team remaining in the Champions League berth. As both Newcastle and Arsenal should be happy with one point from Sunday’s clash, we are tempted to place our bets on draw. All Kieran Trippier, Joelinton, and Joe Willock are rated doubtful for the visiting team, while both Lewis Hall and Matt Targett remain in the treatment room.
Highlighted Player (Sandro Tonali):
After starting his youth career at Piacenza back in 2009, Sandro Tonali moved to Brescia three years later. The 181-cm-tall defender has been playing for le Rondinelle ever since and it has to be noted that he made his debut with the Stadio Mario Rigamonti outfit on August 26, 2017 in a 2-1 defeat to Avellino.
Sandro Tonali scored his first ever league goal for Brescia in a 4-2 loss to Salernitana on April 28, 2018. The talented midfielder, who was born in Lodi on May 8, 2000, represents Italy U21 team in international matches.
He made his debut with the Italy U21 national team on June 19, 2019 in a 1-0 defeat to Poland. His main position is defensive midfielder, but he is used as a central midfielder as well. Sandro’s preferred foot is right and his contract with Brescia should expire on June 30, 2021.
Highlighted Team (Arsenal):
Arsenal are regarded as one of the best English teams. The Gunners have won 12 FA Cup trophies, 13 league titles and two League Cups, but they have yet to lift the Champions League trophy. Arsene Wenger’s team were on the verge of beating Barcelona in the Champions League final back in 2006, but they eventually failed to win the prestigious title.
Arsenal used to play their homes at Highbury, but in 2006 they moved to the Emirates Stadium. The capacity of the stadium is 60,260. The Gunners won their last Premier League trophy back in 2004, with the capital club going through the season without a single loss. The likes of Thierry Henry, Denis Bergkamp and Robert Pires were part of the team back then, but Arsenal have not won the league trophy ever since.
Arsenal was founded by Woolwich munitions workers as Dial Square back in 1886. It is well known that Tottenham Hotspur are Arsenal’s fiercest rivals and there have always been fireworks when the two local rivals meet in the North London derby.
