Newcastle vs Arsenal: Premier League Clash in Growing Rivalry
Tonight’s Premier League match between Newcastle and Arsenal promises to be another intense chapter in the growing rivalry between these two teams. Last season, they both finished in the top four and had some tense clashes along the way. In January, Eddie Howe’s Newcastle held Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal to a 0-0 draw at the Emirates, with Arteta expressing frustration over time-wasting tactics. However, Arsenal turned the tables with a 2-0 win at St James’ Park in May.
Arsenal is looking to surpass their rivals Tottenham in the Premier League standings after their defeat to West Ham in the Carabao Cup. Newcastle, on the other hand, is riding high after a 3-0 victory over Manchester United in the same competition. They will be looking to close the gap on the top four after a mixed start to the campaign. However, they also face the challenge of playing Arsenal before their crucial Champions League clash against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday.
