Newcastle United and Arsenal clash in the first head-to-head of a bumper Saturday schedule. The Magpies are looking to build having shocked many a Fantasy manager by holding Manchester United to a 0-0 draw at Old Trafford last time out, while the Gunners will be seeking to avoid their third blank in four matches.
With one win, loss and draw to their name already this campaign, it’s difficult to know what to expect from the Toon at St James’ Park. If they are stand any chance of rebuffing Arsenal’s advances, they’ll certainly want to concede less shots inside the box (10) than they did in their previous home clash against Southampton.
The Gunners have tallied more goal attempts (61) and shots inside the box (42) than any other side this term yet lay claim the worst shot conversion rate (3.3%). Clearly Arsene Wenger will be demanding his forward contingent to be more ruthless as they attempt to make up ground on Manchester City in the title race.
