There is no doubt that Arsenal is the first favorite for the Premier League title. With almost half the season played, they have a 7-point lead over reigning champions Man City. Historically, no team in the Premier League has failed to lift the trophy, having taken 43 points after 16 rounds. Manager Mikel Arteta has a relatively young squad who are fast and in top form. Scoring 40 goals and only conceding 14 goals indicates a lethal attacking game as well as a very strong defense. On New Year's Eve, Brighton was defeated 4-2, after goals from ,Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Martin Odegaard. The latter two are up to 7 goals each, in the league game. The home statistics are 100% with 7 straight wins. Newcastle has had an almost equally impressive season. After 17 league games played, there has been only one loss, which came at Anfield against Liverpool where Fabio Carvalho scored the winning goal in the 98th minute of the match. The confidence is at its peak, considering the fantastic season. They had 6 straight wins before the last round when Leeds came to visit. Goalkeeper Illan Meslier had the best game of his life to stop Newcastle from winning. It was goalless, despite 16 shots on goal. Newcastle has the best defense of all, conceding just 11 goals in total. Up front, Miguel Almiron has impressed with 9 league goals. This will be a great game for watching both teams are very strong and capable but I will go with Arsenal as their performance this season, are not from this planet. It looks like they can score from every possible situation and play ball possession and counterattack at the same time. Despite fact their main striker Gabriel Jesus, his backup Eddie Nketiah is performing very well in recent games. Newcastle will be a hard opponent to beat, but I believe we will see another win for Arsenal at home.

毫无疑问，阿森纳是英超冠军的头号热门。赛季过半，他们已经领先卫冕冠军曼城7分。从历史上看，英超联赛中没有一支球队未能举起冠军奖杯，他们在16轮比赛后拿到了43分。主教练米克尔·阿尔特塔拥有一支相对年轻的队伍，他们速度快，状态良好。打进40球却只丢了14球，这表明这是一场致命的进攻比赛，也是一场非常强大的防守。在新年前夜，布莱顿在布卡约·萨卡、加布里埃尔·马蒂内利和马丁·奥德加德的进球后，以4:2被击败。后两者在联赛中各进7球。主场7连胜，胜率100%。纽卡斯尔本赛季的表现同样令人印象深刻。在17场联赛中，他们只输了一场，那是在安菲尔德对阵利物浦的比赛中，法比奥·卡瓦略在比赛的第98分钟打进了致胜球。考虑到这个美妙的赛季，信心达到了顶峰。在上一轮利兹联队来访之前，他们取得了6连胜。门将伊兰·梅斯利尔上演了他人生中最好的一场比赛，阻止了纽卡斯尔队的胜利。尽管有16次射门，但比赛没有进球。纽卡斯尔拥有最好的防守，总共只丢了11个球。锋线上，米格尔·阿尔米隆打进了9个联赛进球。这将是一场精彩的比赛，两支球队都非常强大，但我会选择阿森纳，因为他们本赛季的表现不是来自这个星球。看起来他们可以在任何可能的情况下得分，同时进行控球和反击。事实上，他们的主力前锋加布里埃尔·热苏斯，他的替补埃迪·恩凯蒂亚在最近的比赛中表现非常好。纽卡斯尔将是一个难以击败的对手，但我相信我们将在主场看到阿森纳的另一场胜利。
