Dimitar Berbatov is backing Arsenal to return to winning ways in the Premier League by claiming a 2-0 win over Newcastle United at The Emirates on Monday night.
The Gunners head into the game after having been held to a frustrating goalless draw by Crystal Palace at The Emirates in the top flight on Thursday night.
Arsenal have been in better form in the Premier League in recent weeks and they have won three of their last four games in the top flight to lift them towards the top half of the table.
