Aiming to avoid sharing the same fate as bitter rivals Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal make the long and arduous journey to St James' Park for a Premier League date with Newcastle United on Sunday afternoon.

Both teams enjoyed 3-1 victories in their most recent fixtures, as the Magpies came from behind to see off Southampton, while Mikel Arteta's men convincingly put Chelsea to the sword.

We say: Newcastle United 2-2 Arsenal

Newcastle's efforts to frustrate Arsenal away from home worked a treat in January, but with concerns over both of the Gunners' first-choice centre-backs, Howe's men should adopt a forward-thinking approach to trouble a porous visiting defence.

However, the Magpies are not the same rearguard force that they were in the earlier stages of the season, and we expect Arsenal to right the wrongs of last year's Tyneside trip to glean a point, albeit one that may force them to kiss their title hopes goodbye.

West Ham vs. Man Utd (Sunday, 7.00pm)

Two teams in need of points but for very different reasons will lock horns for a vital Premier League encounter on Sunday evening, with Manchester United heading to West Ham United.

Man United are currently fourth in the Premier League table, now only four points clear of fifth-placed Liverpool, while West Ham occupy 15th, just four points clear of the relegation zone.

We say: West Ham United 1-2 Manchester United

Man United have not lost to West Ham in the Premier League since September 2019, winning seven of their last eight games against the Hammers in all competitions.

The Red Devils have struggled to play their best football on the road this season, but West Ham are not in good form, and we are tipping Ten Hag's side to navigate their way to a huge three points this weekend.
