Match Preview:

It’s taken much of the season but Newcastle have found good form and come into this match on the back of 3 consecutive wins. Last weekend’s away win at Leicester was highly impressive as the Magpies look to finish the season on a positive note. Rafa Benitez’s side are now in 10^th place and just four points behind Everton with two games in hand.

At St. James’ Park Newcastle have picked up 11 points from their last five games and are unbeaten this year.

In midweek Arsenal reached the semi finals of the Europa League after drawing 2-2 in Russia against CSKA Moscow and winning 6-3 on aggregate. This was a massive boost for the Gunners who have had an underwhelming season.

Arsenal will have their eye on a top 5 place and are just three points behind champions Chelsea. The Gunners have won 3 games in a row scoring 3 goals on each occasion but it is important to remember all of those wins were at home.

On the road Arsene Wenger’s men have not won a game since last December and have lost 4 matches in a row. They have won just 3 times away from home this season.
