You remember that Arsenal losed the EFL Cup 3:1 to West Ham, while Newcastle defeated Manchester United 3:0. Although I was just thinking that Arteta had a different plan for the important match against Newcastle, which is why they lost, I was totally wrong then to think that way because Arteta substituted a strong team in the second half of their match against West Ham, i was thinking that he did that to avoiding any injuries among the players. Considering how well Newcastle has performed this season, I was expected that either Arsenal win or the game end draw. Arsenal was unable to score a single goal against Newcastle, that am actually shocked by the outcome of the game when it ended like that.
Arsenal which was hyped as one of the favorite teams for the title before this season now in last ten matches having 5 wins with 2 draws and 3 defeats in all competitions and their performance is also not as we were expecting from them for the win of the EPL title which is surely big question mark after having good last season even mostly feeling Arteta is doing good job but still things are not as expectations and their performance is surely need improvement with few positions are also needs good changes.
As no doubt Newcastle United is also on not right side, but they are also doing good improvement which is bringing changes for them, and they are currently at the fifth spot, but their win at Old Trafford bring good confidence for them and now having win against Arsenal at St James Park surely will give them good chance for the better end and having strong case for the staying at the top.
