Where to Watch Arsenal vs Newcastle United April 2026

Where to Watch Arsenal vs Newcastle United April 2026 – Arsenal are aiming to avoid the runner-up position and are looking to quickly return to the top of the standings when they host Newcastle United at home on matchday 34 of the 2025/2026 Premier League season.

The match is scheduled to take place at Emirates Stadium on Saturday, April 25, 2026 at 05.30 PM local time

The Gunners are at risk of suffering three consecutive league defeats for the first time in the last four years, a fate that also befell Newcastle in their home match last weekend.

For those of you who do not want to miss the excitement of this match, let us take a look at the recommendations from Mansion Sports for where to watch Arsenal vs Newcastle United April 2026 below!

Team Conditions Ahead of the Match

Arsenal

When Martin Dubravka stepped forward to take a corner kick in the closing minutes of the Burnley vs Manchester City match on Wednesday night, Arsenal and Burnley supporters were hoping for a moment similar to Alisson Becker vs West Bromwich Albion 2.0, while City fans could only watch with tension.

However, Scott Parker’s side failed to replicate Nicolas Jover’s set-piece strategy, and Manchester City’s narrow 1-0 victory – despite being under pressure – brought them back to the top of the standings, albeit only on goal difference.

City’s involvement in the FA Cup this weekend means Arsenal only need one point against Newcastle to return to first place, but recent performances suggest that this will not be easy for Mikel Arteta, who is experiencing a poor run that even Unai Emery never encountered.

After losing a major match against Manchester City, the 2-1 defeat marked Arsenal’s fourth consecutive domestic loss for the first time since Arsene Wenger’s final season in 2017-18, leading to increasing criticism regarding the team’s mentality.

The home side – who will also face Atletico Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals next week – have looked fatigued in recent weeks, although there was not much wrong with their performance at the Etihad, except for the superior individual quality of City’s players.

Arsenal’s overall decent performances may not provide much comfort to fans, especially as their points-per-game record in April under Arteta – now the worst in the club’s history – stands at just 1.48.

In terms of squad condition, Martin Odegaard returned to lead the team against City after recovering from a minor knee injury, but Bukayo Saka remains sidelined with a calf injury and is doubtful for the match against Newcastle.

Riccardo Calafiori and Jurrien Timber are also in similar situations, while Mikel Merino is still recovering from surgery and will not return in the near future.

Timber himself is reportedly close to recovery, and his return could provide a solution in defense, considering Ben White and Cristhian Mosquera have not been convincing at right-back.

Newcastle United

Facing a difficult situation in the closing stages of the season, Newcastle have much simpler objectives compared to Arsenal, and they are not yet mathematically safe from relegation with five matches remaining.

Once considered title contenders after the Saudi-backed takeover in late 2021, Newcastle’s performances have declined significantly, with three consecutive league defeats and four straight losses in all competitions.

St James' Park was once again filled with disappointment after a 2-1 loss to Bournemouth, leaving them in 14th place, 11 points above Tottenham in the relegation zone with 12 points still available.

With eight defeats from their last 11 Premier League matches, no team has lost more frequently than Newcastle since January 25, and Eddie Howe is reportedly set to be questioned by club executives in the near future.

A victory at the Emirates could slightly change the situation, but Newcastle have not won in their last 13 away league matches against Arsenal, who are even aiming to complete a home-and-away double over them for the first time since the 2020-21 season.

From a squad perspective, Newcastle are again facing issues at right-back, with Tino Livramento suffering a groin injury against Bournemouth, ruling him out for this match and possibly until the end of the season.

Livramento may have even played his last match for Newcastle if a transfer materializes, while Anthony Gordon is also confirmed to be absent due to a similar injury.

Emil Krafth, Fabian Schar, and Joelinton are also unavailable, but Bruno Guimaraes is expected to return to the starting XI after recovering from injury.
