Newcastle will not win the Champions League if they qualify for it. They would be a very strong contender to lift the Europa League trophy though.

Kai Havertz fouls Sandro Tonali. Rusty still I imagine. Shooting range free-kick for the Magpies.

It's not Eddie's tactical limitations, it's the squad limitations that's the problem, not much more he could do.

Newcastle's first chance of the second half but Harvey Barnes blazes over from 20 yards after nice play from Bruno Guimaraes and William Osula.

Arsenal keeper David Raya had five saves to make in the first 20 minutes - but hasn't had much to do since then.

Villa's last game is against the worst Man Utd team in Premier League history. Have Newcastle blown it?

Howe showing his tactical limits in this second half. No shots. We don't deserve the Champions League!

Arsenal have been good in the second half, but they have not created too many chances.
The substitutions from Eddie Howe have not had the impact that Eddie Howe intended.

Newcastle keeper Nick Pope gets away with one as he races out of his box and almost lets Bukayo Saka have the ball. They just about get it away.

Anthony Gordon beats Ben White on the left but then his cross is poor.
Arsenal 1-0 Newcastle
Ben White almost crashes in a second for Arsenal! The defender blasts a shot towards the bottom corner from outside the box and it bounces just wide. Sweet strike.

There were just 33 seconds between Emil Krafth coming on as a substitute and receiving a yellow card, the shortest gap of any sub in the Premier League this season.

Lol, Arsenal doing short corners, Newcastle doing short corners. Both are having zero success. Please just whip it in.

There was a worry when Jakub Kiwior stepped into the team, but his form doesn't coincide with Arsenal's form.
Arsenal 1-0 Newcastle
We were told it was going to be Anthony Gordon replaced, but it was actually Jacob Murphy in the end. Gordon is still on.
Arsenal 1-0 Newcastle
Gabriel Martinelli turns Emil Krafth, who hauls him down when he's racing through on goal. The Newcastle sub is booked. That was his first act.

Arsenal have lost just one of their last 20 Premier League home games against Newcastle (W17 D2), winning 11 of the last 12 (D1) since a 1-0 loss in November 2010.
Following their 1-0 win at St James’ Park in November, Newcastle are looking to complete their first league double over Arsenal since 1994-95.
Newcastle have won three games against Arsenal this season, 1-0 in the Premier League and 2-0 in both legs of the League Cup semi-final. No team has ever beaten the Gunners four times in a single campaign.
Newcastle have won five of their last eight meetings with Arsenal in all competitions (D1 L2), as many as they had in their previous 52 against the Gunners (D11 L36).
Arsenal have only lost their final home league game in one of the last 27 seasons (W22 D4), going down 2-1 against Aston Villa in 2010-11. The only time their final home game of a league campaign was against Newcastle was in 1996-97, losing 1-0 thanks to a Robbie Elliott goal.
Newcastle haven’t lost their final away league game in any of the last six seasons (W4 D2) since a 1-0 loss at Tottenham in 2017-18. Four of these games have been at London sides (W3 D1), beating Brentford 4-2 last term.
Arsenal are winless in their last four home games in all competitions (D2 L2), losing the last two. They last had a longer run without a win at the Emirates between March and May 2021 (6), while they last lost more consecutively in November/December 2019 (4).
Newcastle have won seven of their last nine Premier League games, though have failed to win either of their last two away from home (D1 L1). Victory here would see them leapfrog Arsenal into second place in the table, with the Magpies last finishing that high in the top-flight in 1996-97.
William Saliba could make his 100th Premier League appearance in this match. If he plays and Arsenal win, it would equal the most victories for a Gunners player in their first 100 games in the competition (68 by Lauren and Sol Campbell).
Jacob Murphy has provided 12 assists in the Premier League this season. The only Newcastle players with more in a single campaign are Andrew Cole (13 in 1993-94) and Nolberto Solano (15 in 1999-00).
