It's an important few days for Arsenal and by the end of Monday evening could either be third in the table or out of the all-important top four. They start the weekend in fourth place, two points clear of Manchester United in fifth and three above Chelsea in sixth. However, they are only a point behind Tottenham and with them away to Liverpool on Sunday, a win against Newcastle United can take the Gunners up to third. Arsenal are unbeaten in their last five league games and have a great home record. They have won nine straight home league games scoring 25 goals and their only defeat at the Emirates was right at the start of the season against Manchester City.
Newcastle United are up to 13th in the Premier League and a healthy looking seven points above the relegation zone that they used to be in. Only one of their last six league games have ended in defeat. It's their home record that has seen them climb the table with five wins in a row. Away form isn't so good though with just three points from their last seven league games. That sets this game up for a home win for Arsenal who can inflict another away defeat on the visitors.
