Chris Sutton predicts what the score will be between Newcastle United and Arsenal ‘grudge match’
St James’ Park is set to host a ‘grudge match’, as Arsenal head north to face Newcastle United.
Saturday sees the return of one of the Premier League’s most controversial fixtures from last season. Newcastle United beat Arsenal 1-0, with Anthony Gordon scoring the only goal of the game.
However, his strike endured a lengthy VAR check, with officials looking at three different reasons to disallow the goal. In the end, the goal was given, and Arsenal have bemoaned the decision ever since.
Now it is time for the Gunners to return to St James’ Park, as they prepare to face a Toon side that suddenly has a bit of confidence.
Newcastle beat Chelsea 2-0 in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night, and looked like they were back to their best. That is a good omen for the Magpies ahead of Saturday’s game against Arsenal.
