Newcastle vs Arsenal Tips
- Over 1.5 Newcastle goals @ EVS
- Total booking points - 36 or more @ 4/6
It is turning into an excellent Premier League campaign for Newcastle United (7/5), who have won their last four home games and look set to secure a place in next season's Champions League.
Comfortable successes over Tottenham and Everton were followed by a 3-1 victory over Southampton, and Eddie Howe's team are looking particularly strong.
With eight wins to show from their last nine Premier League fixtures, the Magpies can assure themselves of at least a top-seven finish with all three points on Sunday, and the Champions League fantasy becomes closer to a reality with every passing week.
Arsenal (13/8) returned to winning ways with a 3-1 victory over Chelsea on Tuesday, but it will take a lot more than that for them to get back into the title race and hunt down Manchester City.
The Gunners were too strong for Frank Lampard's side at the Emirates, but they will be kicking themselves that they let two-goal leads slip against West Ham and Liverpool in their most recent away matches.
Team News
Sean Longstaff and Allan Saint-Maximin may miss out on Sunday as the pair continue to recover from knocks, while Callum Wilson will be looking to retain his place up front after his brace against Southampton.
As for the visitors, William Saliba is set to miss out again, while Mikel Arteta expressed concern over the fitness of Gabriel Magalhaes when he came off injured in the dying embers of their win over Chelsea.
Takehiro Tomiyasu and Mohamed Elneny also both remain out with their season-ending knee problems.

Over 1.5 Newcastle goals @ EVS
Arsenal's defence has been vulnerable without William Saliba and even a dreadful Chelsea side managed to get on the scoresheet against them in midweek.
With Howe's side in such thrilling form in attack I can see the Magpies getting some joy, with over 1.5 Newcastle goals
Total booking points - 36 or more @ 4/6
Nine yellows cards were flashed in Newcastle's trip to the Emirates in January, so this could be a feisty affair.
There were five yellows shown in total in Newcastle's victory over Southampton, so backing 36 booking points or more could be the way to go here.
If you're unfamiliar with booking points, then here is a quick summary: a yellow card is worth 10 points and a red card is worth 25 points, and if a player is sent off for two bookable offences they are awarded 35 points instead of 45 as the second yellow card does not count for the purposes of booking points.
