Newcastle to Win and Both Teams to Score
Rationale:
Newcastle’s impressive attacking form and resilience in defence make them strong contenders to edge this contest. Recent performances highlight their knack for outscoring opponents, even against formidable sides. Arsenal, known for their creativity and dominance at home, are expected to breach Newcastle’s backline, most likely through their midfield maestros who often play a pivotal role in goal creation.
However, Newcastle’s organised pressing and ruthless finishing give them an edge. Players such as Anthony Gordon and Alexander Isak have been instrumental in exploiting defensive frailties, particularly against teams missing key players. Arsenal’s backline, weakened by injuries, could struggle to contain Newcastle’s fluid attacks, leaving spaces that the Magpies are adept at utilising. With both teams likely to find the net, Newcastle’s clinical edge makes them favourites for a narrow but decisive victory.

Alexander Isak to Score First

Reasoning Liverpool to win, Mohamed Salah to score anytime, both teams to score, Cody Gakpo 2+ shots on target, Dominic Solanke 2+ shots on target, and Conor Bradley to be booked combines Liverpool’s form, attacking dominance, and Spurs’ defensive vulnerabilities. | |
Isak’s dynamic movement and ability to exploit defensive lapses make him a constant threat. Arsenal’s defence, already under strain from injuries, could face significant challenges in containing him. Additionally, Newcastle’s reliance on Kieran Trippier’s accurate crosses into the box provides Isak with a consistent supply of goal-scoring opportunities.

Arsenal’s tendency to deploy a high defensive line may further play into Isak’s strengths, as his pace and positioning are perfectly suited to counter-attacks. Given these factors, backing Isak to break the deadlock seems a calculated and sensible choice.
