Why you should back Arsenal
The Gunners lead the Premier League this season with 10 clean sheets and only 22 goals allowed, three fewer than first-place Liverpool. The club has gone back-to-back matches without conceding as it routed West Ham 6-0 on Feb.11 and Burnley 5-0 last weekend. Arsenal also began their current run of success with a clean sheet as they rolled past Crystal Palace 5-0 on Jan. 20.
Offensively, the Gunners are tied for second in the EPL with 58 tallies and have outscored their opponents 21-2 during their winning streak. Winger Bukayo Saka shares fifth place in the league with 12 goals, half of which have come over his last four contests. The 22-year-old, who has registered back-to-back braces, also is tied for sixth in the league with seven assists. Belgian forward Leandro Trossard also has been hot of late, scoring in three straight league matches and four of his last five, while Norwegian midfielder Martin Odegaard has recorded a goal and three assists over his last two outings.

Why you should back Newcastle United
The Magpies could be without two of their top scorers as striker Callum Wilson (seven goals) is out with a pectoral issue while Swedish forward Alexander Isak (team-high 10) is questionable due to a groin injury. That means Newcastle will be counting on offense from Anthony Gordon, who is second on the club with a career-high eight tallies. The 22-year-old winger, who also has notched five assists, converted in the team's 2-2 draw with Bournemouth last weekend after scoring just once in his previous 10 Premier League matches.
Midfielder Sean Longstaff has recorded four goals in 22 games after amassing the same amount over the previous five seasons for the Magpies, who have converted at least twice in six straight EPL contests. Three players have tallied three times - including Fabian Schar, who has registered all of his goals over his last four games. Fellow defender Kieran Trippier is Newcastle's top set-up man as he shares the league lead with 10 assists. See which team to pick here.
