Arsenal vs Newcastle: “Water-Gunners” Eye Ending Poor Emirates Run as Howe's High-flying Magpies Search 4/4 Wins Against “Bottlers” to Move 2nd️

📅Date: Friday, May 18, 2025.

📍Venue: Emirates, London

🏆Competition: English Premier League – Matchday 37

⌚Kick-off: 4:30 PM GMT

Arsenal welcome Newcastle United to the Emirates Stadium in their final home match of the season, with both sides chasing a top-two Premier League finish and Champions League security heading into the final week.

Arsenal Players Celebrating a Goal

While the Gunners remain in control of their UCL fate, Eddie Howe’s Magpies are on the verge of something historic—beating Arsenal four times in a single season for the first time ever.

🔴⚪Arsenal Hope to Snap Winless Home Run | Home Win = 2.07💵

Arsenal’s dramatic 2-2 draw at Anfield last week was a tale of two halves. While Arteta’s men rallied after a poor first half, it extended their winless run to five games in all competitions.

The Gunners have failed to win any of their last four matches at the Emirates, a worrying trend as they seek to finish strong. They haven’t lost three straight home matches since 2019—an unwanted record looming.

Despite their form, Arsenal still sit second and will likely qualify for the UCL unless Aston Villa upset Spurs. But pressure is high, and with several injuries, Arteta will need to rotate wisely.

Newcastle Players Celebrating a Goal

⚫⚪Newcastle Target Historic Fourth Win Over Arsenal | Away Win = 3.79💵

Having already beaten Arsenal in the league and EFL Cup this season, Newcastle could make history with a fourth win over the Gunners this term. The 2-0 win over Chelsea last weekend reignited their form at just the right time.

Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali were instrumental in that win, and their midfield battle could decide the tie. Newcastle have scored in 11 straight games and remain one of the league’s most dangerous sides in transition.

However, away form is less impressive, with just two wins from their last six league road games. Still, the Magpies haven’t lost the final game of the season away from home since 2017-18.

🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:

Arsenal will be without Mikel Merino due to suspension, while Jorginho, Gabriel Jesus, and Gabriel Magalhães are all expected to miss out through injury. Lewandowski (hamstring) also remains unavailable.

Arsenal Players Line-up Right Before Kick-off

There’s optimism over Declan Rice, Kai Havertz, and Leandro Trossard—all of whom trained midweek—but Arteta may opt for caution. Zinchenko could feature in midfield, with Nwaneri or Tierney filling wide.

Newcastle may be without Sven Botman (knee), with Emil Krafth the likely replacement at centre-back. Trippier, Joelinton, Matt Targett, and Lewis Hall are still sidelined. Joe Willock remains a doubt.

Chelsea vs Man. “Lose-nited”: Blues Eye UCL Football; “Pink Devils” Scramble to Save ‘Worst League Season Ever’

📅Date: Friday, May 16, 2025.

📍Venue: Stamford Bridge, London

🏆Competition: English Premier League – Matchday 37

⌚Kickoff: 8:15 PM GMT

Chelsea welcome Manchester United to Stamford Bridge in a must-win Premier League clash with both sides desperate for vastly different reasons.

Chelsea Players Celebrating a Goal

For the Blues, currently clinging to fifth spot, it’s a shot at Champions League redemption. For 16th-placed United, it's a matter of pride—and avoiding the club’s worst league finish in the modern era.

🔵 Chelsea: Fortress Bridge & a Top-Five Lifeline | Home Win = 1.43💵

After a five-game winning streak, Chelsea’s European charge stumbled in a 2-0 away defeat to Newcastle. But their home form is impeccable—just two losses at the Bridge all season.

Chelsea Players Celebrating a Goal

Maresca’s men have turned Stamford Bridge into a stronghold, unbeaten in their last four against United there since 2021. A win on Wednesday could be vital in holding off Villa in the top-five race.

Even without a suspended Jackson, an ineligible Sancho, and injured Nkunku and Guiu, the Blues will still fancy their chances of creating something by midfielders like Palmer and Enzo to break down a leaky United defence.

Man United Players Celebrating a Goal

🔴Man United: Facing Their Worst EPL Finish Ever | Away Win = 7.57💵

United have gone seven league games without a win, their latest being a 2-0 loss at home to West Ham. They sit a dismal 16th, having lost 17 league matches.

Their Europa League final with Spurs looms large, but with Premier League records going from bad to worse by the minute, Ruben Amorim’s men cannot afford to ignore this critical away tie.

Man United Players Celebrating a Goal

Injuries to key defenders, including Lisandro Martinez and Leny Yoro, further deplete an already fragile squad. Scoring options also remain limited with Zirkzee out.

🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:

Chelsea:

  • Out: Nicolas Jackson (suspension), Nkunku (knock), Guiu (hamstring), Fofana (muscle), Kellyman (hamstring)

Image from the last meeting between Chelsea & Man United (1-1 draw)
  • Unavailable: Jadon Sancho (ineligible vs parent club)

Man United:

  • Out: Zirkzee (hamstring), Martinez (knee), Dalot (calf), Yoro (foot – doubt)

Expect midfielders like Enzo Fernandez and Casemiro to be very important to their various teams’ play, while Palmer and Bruno Fernandes could be the difference-makers in the final third.
