While Arsenal’s search for silverware ended with their loss to PSG, the Gunners aren’t quite on the beach just yet. Their place in the top five is not yet certain, while Sunday’s clash with Newcastle could see the Magpies leap over them into second.
Ahead of this key showdown in the top five race, we’ve picked out for bets which combine for a massive 188/1 Ultimate Bet Builder tip.
Arsenal vs Newcastle Ultimate Bet Builder
Alexander Isak to score anytime
Isak has thrived against Arsenal this season, scoring in two of the three meetings between the pair. He opened the scoring in a 2-0 victory at the Emirates in the Carabao Cup earlier this year, while he scored the only goal in their first Premier League clash.
The Swede has continued his brilliant season by scoring in three of his last five league games, so he stands out as an anytime goalscorer bet with the visitors expected to trouble this Arsenal defence.
Fabian Schar to be carded
Schar has been booked in both of his appearances against Arsenal this season, having been suspended for the first leg of their Carabao Cup tie in January.
The Swiss defender picked up his eighth Premier League booking of the campaign against Chelsea last weekend, so he’s a good bet in the card markets on Sunday.
Martin Odegaard to be carded
Newcastle draw fouls at an impressive rate, with only Aston Villa and Tottenham being fouled more times per game this season. The Magpies are particularly skilled at that in midfield, with Bruno Guimaraes being fouled 102 times in the Premier League so far.
While Arsenal’s other midfielders tend to do more of the Gunners’ dirty work, Odegaard has been cautioned on four occasions this term, with three of those coming at the Emirates. He has picked up bookings in three of their previous seven at home in the league, so back him for a card against a Newcastle side who frequently draw bookings from opposition midfielders.
Jacob Murphy to commit 2+ fouls
Arsenal do have their own go-to man when it comes to drawing fouls, as Myles Lewis-Skelly is fouled at a rate of over two per game. He’ll be getting forward to support Gabriel Martinelli on the left-hand side, which could be an issue for Newcastle’s new right-wing-back.
Murphy was moved into that position against Chelsea last week, earning a booking in that key clash. His challenge at the Emirates should be even tougher, given Arsenal’s options on the left.
Murphy hasn’t made an exceptionally high number of fouls as a midfielder this term, but playing deeper against Lewis-Skelly and Martinelli should put him in some difficult positions.
