Chris Sutton’s Premier League Prediction: Newcastle vs. Arsenal

Chris Sutton is providing predictions for every one of the 380 Premier League fixtures throughout the current season, often alongside different guests. For the tenth week, his challenger is Brad Kella, who won The Piano TV series. Sutton’s specific forecast for the game is a 1-1 draw. This particular match carries an element of rivalry, stemming from Arsenal’s previous visit to St James’ Park last season, where they were defeated by a contentious goal scored by Anthony Gordon. Newcastle currently finds itself in a streak of five consecutive league matches without securing a victory. However, their performance during this period has been somewhat unfortunate, as they have generated numerous scoring opportunities but have struggled to convert them effectively. Sutton also expresses concern regarding Arsenal’s effectiveness in the attacking third, noting their tendency to be wasteful with chances. For Arsenal, securing a win in this fixture is crucial to remain close to the league leaders, Manchester City. Nevertheless, Sutton’s intuition suggests that Newcastle will manage to gain a result from the game, strongly indicating a draw. Brad’s forecast for the outcome is a 2-2 draw. Brad states his desire for Arsenal to lose the match, but expresses uncertainty about Newcastle’s ability to defeat them outright, leading him to hope for a draw.
