Newcastle hosted Arsenal, the only unbeaten team in the league, in the Premier League this week. Both teams played in the League Cup in midweek, but the results were very different, as Newcastle swept aside Manchester United in a clean sweep, while Arsenal lost to city rivals Westham in a mediocre match, which was a little disappointing.
Newcastle's tactics against Man Utd were quite clear, the team had 7 players who were injured or suspended, so Eddie Husband had to teach the team tactics, asking the team to give up possession and wait for Man Utd to dominate the game, so Newcastle's possession ratio was lower than 40%, but finally used the team's fast counter-attacks to win 3 goals against Man Utd. I think Eddie Husband will use this tactics in this game, hopefully! I think Eddie Husband will follow the same tactic in this match, hoping to beat Arsenal and get the 3 precious points.
