"It's a big game and a tough one to call but with the form Haaland is in, how can you go against them? If Newcastle can stop him, which is a huge if, then they win the game I guess. Not many can stop him but St James' will be rocking and they'll not allow another weak performance. I know you sometimes get a leggy performance after the international break but I don't think the fans or Eddie Howe will allow that."
"Man City will have already played and claimed their points, or none. But whatever happens, Arsenal's mentality is that they have to win the game. It's always tough to predict a derby game but I think I'm just going to go for Arsenal to edge it. I usually go for a draw but I think I'll just go for Arsenal to edge it."
Predictions foresee Arsenal beating Tottenham at home, which would extend their lead over Manchester City to six points. Manchester City are expected to draw at Newcastle, with Erling Haaland remaining the central threat but Newcastle's atmosphere and defensive resilience likely to make the match difficult. Newcastle are anticipated to avoid a sluggish post-international-break display under Eddie Howe. Tottenham have improved from last season under Thomas Frank, showing better set-piece performance, but consistency and overall attacking quality still require time to develop.
