Arsenal have fallen off the pace in the title race, going five games without a win in all competitions. Despite this, a top-four finish is within reach. Their strong goal difference gives them breathing room, but a win here would confirm their place in next season’s Champions League. The Gunners have struggled defensively at home recently and will need a sharper performance to handle a Newcastle side full of attacking threat.

Newcastle United are enjoying a strong finish to the campaign, already securing European football via the Carabao Cup. Now they want Champions League qualification, and this match is key. Though they’ve been inconsistent on the road, with losses like the one at Villa Park, they’ve still claimed eight away league wins. With attacking firepower and motivation, they’ll be a real threat at the Emirates.
