Newcastle United Starting XI Prediction vs Arsenal
Newcastle United have yet to win a trophy under their new ownership, the Saudi Arabian consortium that took over the club in 2021. This group has big and I mean BIG money behind them. However, thus far they have not been able to "pull a Roman Abramovich," and by that we mean essentially buy titles, like the Russian oligarch did at Chelsea. Or like the Abu Dhabi led consortium … [Read more...] about Newcastle United Starting XI Prediction vs Arsenal
Arsenal FC Starting XI Prediction at Newcastle (EFL Cup Semifinals)
Arsenal FC head to Newcastle United on Wednesday for the second of their two-legged League Cup semifinal tie. While Mikel Arteta and his men will indeed play to win, we just don't think they'll go over-the-top all out in doing so.

Arsenal FC at Newcastle United Team News (EFL Cup Semifinals)
Newcastle United have to like their chances of getting a trophy in the EFL/League/Carabao Cup. They have a 2-0 lead over Arsenal FC on aggregate from the road leg, and it means that they can play somewhat loose and relaxed here in midweek. Actually, it might even be best for both sides if Newcastle marches on, eliminating the Gunners in the process. … [Read more...] about Arsenal FC at Newcastle United Team News (EFL Cup Semifinals)
Newcastle United Starting XI Prediction vs Fulham FC
Newcastle United host Fulham FC on Saturday in a match that could propel them back into the top four. The Magpies are level on points with Manchester City, but -3 to the Cityzens in goal differential.

Man City play at … [Read more...] about Newcastle United Starting XI Prediction vs Fulham FC

Newcastle United are red hot right now, pushing themselves into the top four, and perhaps maybe even the Premier League title race?

Newcastle United Starting XI Prediction at Aston Villa
Kieran Trippier is definitely staying put at Newcastle United this January. He started the FA Cup fourth round win over Fulham earlier today, at his usual right back position. We expect to see the English international at that slot again, Tuesday night, when the Geordies take on Aston Villa at Villa Park. Newcastle held firm on their price for the fullback, and thus, Bayern … [Read more...] about Newcastle United Starting XI Prediction at Aston Villa
