Newcastle United travel to Arsenal on Saturday evening for their 34th Premier League game of a season they desperately need to end.
Eddie Howe’s side are in absolutely dire form and the season cannot end quickly enough for Newcastle United.
Indeed, Howe’s Newcastle team have gone stale and little about their performances suggest they are capable of claiming even another point this season.
How many more points will Newcastle United get this season? 👀
Personally, I'm not confident of getting a single one 😂
The hope is, however, that Newcastle’s recent rivalry with Arsenal lights at least something of a fire under this team.
Though undoubtedly petty, the Magpies could get one over the Gunners even in their lowly position in the Premier League by denting their title hopes.
Here’s everything you need to know.

Arsenal vs Newcastle United prediction
Sadly, it’s hard to see this Newcastle team getting anything right now.
Arsenal might be wobbling somewhat but the prospect of playing a Newcastle side in crisis and one who has struggled on the road all season is probably the ideal game for them.
Score prediction: Arsenal 2-0 Newcastle United
