(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 14, 2012 ) London, UK -- New QPR manager Mark Hughes will earn a point in his first game in charge when his side visit Newcastle United while Arsenal will return to London with all three points at Swansea City according to free bet site writer David Walker.
Hughes takes his QPR side, who have won just two points from the last 24 available and are without a win in their last eight matches, to Newcastle who are missing two of their most influential players.
Both midfielder Cheick Tiote and 15-goal leading scorer Demba Ba are away at the Africa Cup of Nations.
The Magpies beat Manchester United 3-0 in their last Premier League match but five of their last 10 in the league have ended in defeat.
In the second televised match of the day, Arsenal face a difficult trip to Swansea City and may give Thierry Henry his second debut in the Premier League.
Henry, on loan from New York Red Bulls came on as a substitute in Monday's FA Cup tie against Leeds United and duly scored the winning goal.
“There are two really interesting football matches taking place on Sunday,” said Walker, “and both are very difficult to call."
“If both Tiote and Ba were available I'd have probably gone for a home win for Newcastle, regardless of QPR playing with a new manager, but without them, they will be significantly weakened and I think Mark Hughes could get a point from his first match in charge."
“Swansea vs Arsenal is set to be an entertaining game. Both sides are great passers of the ball and the Swans, of course, have an incredible defensive record at home."
“But, Arsenal are bettered only by Manchester City in terms of goals scored away from home and I think they have the edge to take all three points”.
