Two sleeping giants, Arsenal and AC Milan, hope to rekindle old days

The Serie A title race is shaping up to be a battle of the San Siro, with both Milan clubs looking like the favorites to break Juventus’ near decade-long stranglehold on the championship.

In England, Arsenal is not near the top of the Premier League table, but Mikel Arteta has shown signs the Gunners are moving in the right direction.

Newcastle United, though, can’t say the same. The Magpies almost NEVER beat Arsenal: the Gunners have won 15 of 16 matches against Newcastle back to 2011.

Look for Arsenal and Milan to win today, with the latter going back to the top of the table.
