Arsenal host Newcastle in the Premier League on Sunday, May 18, 2025.
Ahead of the game, Chris Sutton shared his prediction on BBC. Sutton’s score prediction is 1-1.
“This is a big game with second place up for grabs, and it is a bit of a grudge match too.
“Newcastle have beaten Arsenal three times already this season and their meetings have been quite spiky since the Magpies grabbed a controversial win over Mikel Arteta’s side in 2023.
“Arsenal will be absolutely desperate to put one over them this time, but I can see this turning into a real battle and I would not be surprised if it ends up in a draw.
“That is a better result for the Gunners, because a point would all but guarantee them a Champions League place – their goal difference is much better than the other teams in that race – even if their fans will want more.”
