Liverpool icon Mark Lawrenson has fired a brutal message towards Arsenal as they look to negotiate a tricky clash against Newcastle United.
The Gunners travel to St James’ Park on Monday evening for a crucial meeting in the race for Champions League football. Mikel Arteta ’s men have to win to move back into the top four after North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur edged ahead with a slender victory over Burnley on Sunday, which followed a dominant win over Arsenal.
A place back at Europe’s top table is still in the Gunners’ hands in the final week of the campaign but they simply cannot afford any more slip-ups. Ahead of the clash in the North-East, Lawrenson has fired a dig at the Gunners by questioning their ability to perform when the pressure is at its most intense.
