Newcastle United take on Arsenal in a massive game in the race for a Champions League place this weekend.

The Premier League season is drawing to a close but there is still work to be done for Newcastle United when they take on Arsenal in their penultimate match.

Eddie Howe’s side have enjoyed trips to London this season and will be hoping for one final capital celebration as they bid to secure their place in next year’s Champions League.

If results go their way in Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest’s games beforehand, Newcastle may only need a point to return to Europe’s top competition.

However, a victory would be emphatic and would see the Toon climb above Arsenal into second place in the Premier League table.

Here is everything you need to know about the fixture.

Arsenal vs Newcastle United team news

Howe could be without up to six of his players as the injury bug is biting Newcastle as a gruelling campaign approaches its conclusion.

Sven Botman became the latest casualty after he suffered yet more problems with his knee during his first start since February against Chelsea.

Kieran Trippier, Joe Willock and Matt Targett all picked up injuries ahead of the win and are likely to miss the rest of the season alongside Lewis Hall and Joelinton.

Arsenal have an injury crisis of their own and will be without Gabriel Jesus, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Gabriel, Declan Rice, Kai Havertz and Leonardo Trossard, while Mikel Merino is suspended.

Prediction

Arsenal remain a dangerous side and were able to fight from two goals down to get a draw at Liverpool last week. However, they are a wounded animal after some bruising defeats and will be without several key players for the game.

Newcastle have better form and morale and have already proven they can handily beat Arsenal. They can win this one, too.

Prediction: Arsenal 1-2 Newcastle United.
