How Newcastle vs Arsenal impacts Chelsea's Champions League race with Tottenham and the Gunners

With the FA Cup final now in the rearview mirror and Chelsea's final chance to add to their trophy haul this season has gone. Two Premier League matches remain for the Blues to rediscover their focus and ensure another Champions League campaign next season.

The Blues were handed two days off following the heartbreaking defeat to Liverpool and still have Leicester and Watford remaining on their fixture list. Thomas Tuchel's side remains in third place, having played a game more than London rivals Tottenham, who sit two points behind in fourth place, with Arsenal in fifth, a further two points adrift.

All three teams head into fixtures they hope to win, with Chelsea facing Leicester City and Watford, Spurs facing Norwich and Arsenal taking on Newcastle United and Everton. The Gunners travel to St James' Park on Monday evening, hoping to stay in contention for a place in Europe's elite competition.
