Arsenal eye Newcastle revenge

To have any chance of winning their first league title for 19 years, Arsenal must win where their challenge for a top-four finish disintegrated last season. Mikel Arteta's men had a return to the Champions League in their own hands with two games to go a year ago, only to be well beaten in a 2-0 defeat by the Magpies.

"We don't forget the game we had there last season," said Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka. "I have to be honest, they destroyed us. They were much, much better, they wanted it more. We have to go there and show them we are ready and why we are where we are."

Newcastle have won eight of their past nine league games to close in on a top-four finish. Given their healthy goal difference, Eddie Howe's men likely need just six points from their remaining five games to join Arsenal and City in next season's Champions League.
