Looking to finish off the job and book their EFL Cup final ticket on Wednesday night, Newcastle will welcome Arsenal to St. James’ Park for their second-leg showdown.

Springing a heavyweight upset in north London last month as they eventually left the Emirates with a shock 2-0 victory, the Magpies find themselves firmly sat in the driving seat here.

However, watching Arsenal lay down a sensational marker over the weekend as they stormed their way to a famous 5-1 romp against Manchester City, the Gunners are enjoying quite the purple patch.

With a spot at Wembley up for grabs on Wednesday night, we have taken a look at some of the most attractive Newcastle vs Arsenal bet builder tips.

Arsenal finding top gear at a crucial time

With their Premier League title dreams hanging in the balance on Sunday afternoon, Arsenal certainly produced a season-best display as they stormed their way to an iconic 5-1 victory against the defending champions.

Although the Gunners might have a real battle on their hands in the race to claim a first Premier League crown since 2004, Wednesday’s guests have found top gear at a crucial time.

Officially booking a Champions League top-eight finish last week as they clinched a 2-1 win away at Spanish outfit Girona, Arsenal have won their previous four appearances across all competitions.

Showing no signs of a hangover since their second-half collapse at home against Aston Villa on January 18th, Mikel Arteta’s men have also impressed on their travels.

In fact, the Gunners have not suffered a single domestic defeat away from the Emirates since a 1-0 loss at St. James’ Park on November 2nd.

All the pressure on Newcastle

Sat firmly in the driving seat following their shock 2-0 victory away in north London last month, Eddie Howe’s camp will be desperately seeking a repeat performance when they return to St. James’ Park on Wednesday night.

However, while the Magpies might be just 90 minutes away from booking their ticket to Wembley, Newcastle do have the feel of a squad seeking some recent stability.

Suffering a collapse on home soil last weekend as they eventually fell to a 2-1 loss at the hands of Fulham, the former Bournemouth boss has seen his squad lose two of their previous three Premier League appearances.

Coming under real scrutiny on January 18th as they slumped to a 4-1 drumming against the Cherries, Howe’s side have lost back-to-back showdowns at St. James’ Park for the first time since January 2024.

Although Newcastle might have won three of their previous four meetings against the Premier League title contenders, Newcastle have a real test on their hands here.

The Gunners at their clinical best

While attacking talisman Bukayo Saka might still remain on the sidelines after undergoing muscle surgery over the festive period, Arsenal have certainly found a real clinical edge in the final third.

Laying down what was a sensational marker on Sunday afternoon as they stormed their way to a 5-1 romp against Manchester City, the Gunners will be looking to cash in on a Newcastle squad that have shown some recent defensive issues.

Winning their last four consecutive appearances by an aggregate score of 11-2, Arsenal have also recorded 15 goals in just their previous six matchups across all competitions.

Once again finding the net in north London last weekend, 17-year-old sensation Ethan Nwaneri will be looking to extend on his remarkable rise to superstardom.

Notching a maiden Champions League goal away at Spanish outfit Girona last week, Nwaneri looks set for a full recall at St. James’ Park on Wednesday night.
