Arsenal’s battle to finish in the top four of the Premier League goes to Newcastle on Monday night as they look to climb back ahead of Tottenham into the places.
The defeat to Spurs last Thursday made things very interesting in the race for the top four and ’s men beating Burnley on Sunday saw them move two points ahead of the Gunners into fourth.
Mikel Arteta’s side have a game in hand, so remain in control of their own destiny, but anything but victory at St James’ Park and that will no longer be the case.
The Magpies have nothing to play for with two games of the season left, sitting 14th in the table, although they could climb to 11th with a win.
