After Spurs' narrow victory against Burnley, Arsenal know that nothing other than a win will do against Newcastle United to put the Premier League fourth place battle back in their hands.
The north London derby defeat saw Antonio Conte's side close the gap between Spurs and Arsenal to just one point, and with Spurs having played before the Gunners this week, the Lilywhites sit two points ahead of Arsenal. Mikel Arteta's side now need a win against Newcastle to enter the final day of the season in fourth.
A draw for Arsenal would see them remain in fifth place and behind Spurs, meaning the Gunners would have to rely on Spurs to drop points if they want UEFA Champions League football next season. The Magpies have been one of the best sides in England in 2022, and the task on-hand has been made even more demanding for Arsenal with a couple of major absentees.
