Massive 149/1 Bet Builder for Newcastle vs Arsenal

Arsenal face another key test on Sunday, as they visit a Newcastle side that won three of the four meetings between the pair last term.

Mikel Arteta is under scrutiny following his team selection against Man City last weekend, but there’s little reason to expect him to go on the attack at St James’ Park.

Our Newcastle vs Arsenal predictions point to a low-scoring game, but I’ve put together a 149/1 Ultimate Bet Builder across a range of player props. This tip is priced up with Paddy Power, who have this great 50/1 new customer offer ahead of the game.

Newcastle vs Arsenal Ultimate Bet Builder

Anthony Gordon 1+ shot on target

Arsenal struggled to contain Gordon across both legs of their EFL Cup semi-final earlier this year, while the England international has been impressive ahead of this game.

The winger returned from suspension in midweek, recording three shots on target from six attempts against Bradford. He scored against Barcelona in their Champions League opener, while he made a bright start to the season with efforts on target against both Aston Villa and Liverpool.

Gordon impressed in last month’s internationals, with three efforts on target in Serbia. With 10 efforts on target in five starts, he heads into this Arsenal clash in form.

Declan Rice & Martin Zubimendi to be carded

Newcastle’s 62 fouls drawn across five games is just two shy of the highest total in the division. While their midfield has a reputation for picking up cards, they’re also a driving force behind the number of fouls Newcastle have won.

Newcastle’s opponents have been shown 11 bookings in the Premier League so far, with six of those shown to opposing midfielders. In their previous home game against Wolves, the visitors’ three starting midfielders were booked.

In the Champions League, two of Barca’s midfield three were cautioned, while Bradford’s central midfielder Tommy Leigh received the only booking in their midweek cup tie.

Martin Zubimendi leads Arsenal in fouls made this term, while Rice led the way for Arsenal with seven bookings last season. These two sides shared 23 bookings across last season’s four meetings, so back the Gunners’ midfield to pick up a couple in this tricky away trip.

Tino Livramento to commit a foul and be fouled 1+ times

Livramento is 6/4 to make a foul in this contest, despite the fact that he’s expected to lineup against Bukayo Saka. The England international has been filling in at left-back, while he’s made a foul in each of his previous three appearances.

Saka’s return should cause problems for Livramento, while the Arsenal winger is prone to making fouls himself. Fouling a full-back who is shielding the ball is almost a trademark move for Saka. The winger made three fouls in 45 minutes off the bench against Man City, while he was fouled and committed a foul against Port Vale during the week.

Arsenal over 5.5 corners

It’s no secret that set pieces are important to Arsenal’s attacking prospects, with the Gunners averaging 6.6 per game this season. They have outperformed that in recent visits to Newcastle, taking 30 corners across their last three visits.

Newcastle tend to cede possession in games like this, putting the onus on Arsenal to create openings. Arteta’s side do at times look like they’re trying to win corners when their wingers get on the ball, so the final leg of this bet builder is Arsenal to top five corners on Sunday.
