Newcastle are in the driver’s seat for a place in the Champions League next season. The Magpies sit in third due a superior goal difference over Chelsea and Aston Villa, who both won yesterday. A win today at Arsenal and Newcastle will in all likelihood clinch a top five finish.
The lads have fared quite well against the Gunners over the past few campaigns. Eddie Howe will want to leave nothing to chance on the final day and take all three points at The Emirates this afternoon.
This is the team Howe has named for this pivotal clash as Callum Wilson comes in for the absent Alexander Isak.
