Former Arsenal midfielder, Paul Merson has predicted that the Gunners will run away as 2-1 winners when they clash with Newcastle United in Saturday’s Premier League fixtures.
Merson expects Unai Emery’s men to defeat the Magpies this weekend.
Arsenal head to the game following a 3-2 victory against Cardiff City in their last EPL fixture.
Newcastle, on the other hand, were defeated 2-1 against Manchester City in their last EPL encounter.
“Newcastle can’t be relied on to have a go against the big teams. They won’t create a million chances against the Gunners and Arsenal will create plenty,” Merson told Sky Sports.
“Newcastle will sit back and Arsenal will break them down at some point.”
“Prediction is Newcastle United 1 Arsenal 2.”
The kick-off time for the match is 3pm.
