Compared to the 0: 3 against Tottenham, Mikel Arteta changed three positions. Emile Smith Rowe will start in attacking midfield in place of Gabriel Martinelli. Also, Ben White replaces Rob Holding in central defense and Nuno Tavares starts in left-back. For this, Takehiro Tomiyasu moves to the right side of defense and Cédric Soares initially sits on the bench.

Whilst the home side are no longer at stake today, Arsenal are almost doomed to win. After the clear 0-3 defeat in the North London Derby, the Gunners have now been overtaken in the table by Tottenham. The Spurs have a two-point lead in fourth place, but also have a game more to their credit. A win against Newcastle would see Mikel Arteta’s side jump back into the Champions League spot. On the last day of the game, there will be a long-distance duel with Tottenham. Arsenal play Everton. The Spurs are visiting Norwich.

After an extremely weak first half of the season with just one win from 19 games, the nouveau riche Newcastle United caught up in the second half of the season. In the second half of the table, the Magpies are fourth with two games to go. They could even end up being the third best team in the second half of the season. Before that would only be the out-of-competition teams of Pep Guardiola and Jürgen Klopp. No matter how it ends, this second half of the season is a real pointer towards the top 6. Newcastle can get involved at the top.
