Newcastle vs Arsenal: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Lineups

Newcastle host Arsenal at St. James’ Park on Saturday, November 21 (12:30 PM ET / 11:30 AM CT / 9:30 AM PT).

Newcastle go into this one without the injured Ewen Jaouen and the injured Joelinton Apolinario de Lira, with the suspended Jacob Ramsey also missing, pushing extra responsibility onto Harvey Barnes and Joseph Willock in the final third. Arsenal arrive without the injured Bukayo Saka and the suspended Max Dowman, while the knee injury doubt over Ezri Konsa is a selection concern at the back, but Kai Havertz and Declan Rice remain the two names most likely to define this game.

Newcastle have won 3 of 10 and sit on 12 points with a -3 goal difference, a mixed record of home losses and away points stolen. Arsenal have won 9 of 10 for 27 points and a +10 goal difference, built on tight, controlled wins rather than goal rushes. St James’ Park hasn’t been kind to Newcastle this season, and Arsenal’s recent 1-0 wins suggest another low-event, single-moment contest rather than an open shootout.

Newcastle vs Arsenal Prediction

Signal’s model lands on a 0-1 Arsenal win at St James’ Park, a tight and low-scoring finish in keeping with a defense that has conceded sparingly all season. Kai Havertz, who has scored 3 goals already, looks the most likely source of the only goal, with Newcastle’s -3 goal difference suggesting they’ll be stretched to create clear chances against a side that has lost just 1 of 10.
