In an English Premier League match held on May 18, 2025, Arsenal secured a narrow 1-0 victory against Newcastle United at the Emirates Stadium. Declan Rice's goal in the 55th minute proved to be the difference between the two sides. The game, which ended with a final score of 1-0, saw Arsenal slightly edging possession with 51.4% compared to Newcastle's 48.6%. Although Newcastle had more total shots (14 to Arsenal's 12) and shots on target (5 to Arsenal's 4), they failed to convert their chances.
Both teams committed an equal number of fouls (9) and received the same number of yellow cards (3). Arsenal's goalkeeper was busier, making 5 saves compared to Newcastle's 3. The AI pre-game prediction favored an Arsenal win, which ultimately proved accurate, validating the AI's assessment. The AI didn't expect a balanced game, suggesting a possible dominance, which wasn't fully reflected in the close scoreline, despite Arsenal securing the win.
Arsenal, playing in a 4-3-3 formation, managed to capitalize on their opportunities, while Newcastle's 3-4-2-1 setup couldn't find the back of the net. Arsenal's recent form has been inconsistent, with a mix of draws and losses in both the English Premier League and the UEFA Champions League before this win. Before this game, Arsenal's last results were a draw against Liverpool (2-2) and losses against Paris Saint-Germain (2-1), AFC Bournemouth (1-2) and Crystal Palace (2-2). Newcastle, on the other hand, had shown signs of resurgence with recent wins against Chelsea and Ipswich Town, although interspersed with a draw against Brighton and a heavy loss to Aston Villa. Before this game, Newcastle's last results were a win against Chelsea (2-0), a draw against Brighton (1-1) and wins against Ipswich Town (3-0) and Crystal Palace (5-0).
Arsenal's next game is against Southampton, while Newcastle will face Everton. Looking at previous head-to-head games, Arsenal has a mixed record against Newcastle, with both wins and losses. Arsenal's recent form has been shaky, and they will need to improve their consistency to secure a win against Southampton, especially considering Southampton's struggles. Newcastle will need to carry momentum into the game with Everton.
