Why the Bet Builder Picks?
SunSport's betting experts have teamed up with Paddy Power to select our Bet Builder pick for the big contest, which they've boosted to a whopping 50/1!
We've gone for: Saka 2+ shots on target, Gordon to commit 2+ fouls, under 3.5 match goals & Bruno Guimaraes to be carded.
Key Selections Explained
– Saka 2+ shots on target: 26 shots on target in 24 games and Arsenal's main attacking output. Should give Burn a tricky time and also one for penalties should they arrive. Could have a big part to play.
– Gordon commit 2+ fouls: Tenacious forward who is likely to get frustrated at being without the ball for large spells. Can play up top against big strong centre backs and will want to put himself about. 27 fouls committed in 24 games.
– Under 3.5 goals: This isn't a fixture that has brought many goals. In fact, only seven have been scored in last five games between them in all competitions. Last time out at Emirates was 0-0 draw. Under 3.5 probably a safe play.
– Bruno G to be booked: Newcastle's main man has conceded 32 fouls in 24 games. No player in the league has more than his nine yellow cards this season. Often his reputation is his undoing with officials and with plenty of defending expected, this is the tap-in of the picks.
