Manchester United hero Gary Neville and Liverpool legend Mark Lawrenson have predicted Arsenal to falter in their must-win Premier League clash against Newcastle United tonight.
The Gunners lost 3-0 to local rivals Tottenham Hotspur last Thursday before the Lillywhites clinched a 1-0 victory against Burnley on Sunday afternoon, meaning Mikel Arteta and Co are now two points behind their fellow north London side in the race for top-four. However, if Arteta's side can secure wins from their last two league fixtures, they will guarantee fourth and secure a spot in next season's UEFA Champions League - a competition they have failed to qualify for in each of the last five seasons.
Ahead of tonight's trip to St. James' Park, Reds legend Lawrenson has forecasted the Magpies to get a result that would leave Arsenal staying in fifth place going into the final day of the season. Arsenal endured a horrible night in Thursday's north London derby, but they cannot afford to dwell on what went wrong for them against Spurs", he told the BBC.
