How is Arsenal’s Win Against Newcastle very Important?
After losing two consecutive football matches, Arsenal wants to win against Newcastle. The club lost the first match at home against AFC Bournemouth. Second, the club lost against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. Before, Arsenal was leading the title. However, after two defeats, the competition has become tougher for Arsenal.
Manchester City is ahead of Arsenal after defeating Burnley by 1-0. City now has the same number of points as Arsenal. The clubs have also played the same number of matches and have a similar goal difference. The only difference is that Manchester City has scored more goals in total. Arsenal and Manchester City are going to face off in the Premier League. So, for them, every match is important. As the match has become tough, teams cannot afford any mistakes.

Newcastle, under its manager Eddie Howe, has shown poor performances so far. The club has lost 8 out of its last 11 Premier League games. Compared to other teams, Newcastle has been the worst performer. Newcastle has also lost four consecutive matches. In those matches, the club has conceded 13 goals to its opponents. Since 2010, they haven’t won even a single match at the Emirates Stadium. The club has just scored 1 point in the draw match in its last 13 visits to Arsenal.
As per Opta supercomputer calculations, Arsenal has 68.4% chance of winning against Newcastle. However, Arsenal’s recent performances indicate they are not in their best form. If the Gunners win, then they will get 3 points. However, Manchester City has a match against Southampton. That match of Manchester City is for the FA Cup and is not related to the Premier League. So, if Arsenal wins, it will reach the top of the title again.
Arsenal is going to face the Champions League semi-finals against Atletico Madrid in the next two weeks. Thus, Arsenal needs full focus. However, distractions like transfer rumors can interfere with their performance.

PSG Faced Rejection on the Demand for Gabriel Magalhaes
PSG, or the French Champions, are ready to pay a large amount to get Gabriel Magalhaes into the team. Real Madrid has also approached Gabriel in the January transfer. Arsenal, however, clearly rejected the offer. This is not the first time Arsenal has rejected the sale of the player.
As per Mikel Arteta and the club’s senior members, Gabriel is an important player. Arsenal has three or four key players. The club’s success depends only on these players. Gabriel Magalhaes, along with William Saliba, is commendable in the central defense. Overall, Gabriel is an all-rounder and no price can justify him. In case Arsenal is forced to sell, then they will demand up to £95 million.
