We've spotted Gazza at St James' Park!

The Newcastle and England legend is sporting a two-tone comb-over hairdo and I don't quite know what to make of it.

He's looking super happy and healthy, though, and is cracking jokes with former Leeds boss David O'Leary up in the posh seats.

The teams are about to come down the tunnel so here's a reminder of today's line-ups.

Newcastle XI: Dubravka, Yedlin, Lejeune, Lascelles, Dummett, Kenedy, Diame, Shelvey, Ritchie, Perez, Gayle.

Subs: Murphy, Slimani, Isaac Hayden, Ciaran Clark, Karl Darlow, Joselu, Manquillo.

Arsenal XI: Cech, Monreal, Mustafi, Chambers, Holding, Aubameyang, Xhaka, Iwobi, Elneny, Willock, Lacazette.

Subs: Mertesacker, Nketiah, Ospina, Welbeck, Kolasinac, Maitland-Niles, Nelson

As we mentioned earlier, Manchester City could be crowned Premier League champions today IF cross-city rivals Manchester United lose against West Brom.

City boss Pep Guardiola is keeping a low profile, though.

"The only score I want to know is bogey or birdie," said Guardiola, who will play golf with his son today.

"I think United will win. We depend on us."

We hope he's at least clicking on this live text to see what's going on...

I've been in a Commonwealth Games bubble for the last few weeks and hadn't noticed the run Newcastle are on.

They've won three on the bounce in the league and only lost one of their last six matches.

Newcastle haven’t won four straight Premier League games since a run of five under Alan Pardew in 2015.

There won't be any video assistant referees in the Premier League next season.

Premier League clubs voted not to use the VAR system yet.

The clubs agreed that advanced testing on the use of the video technology will continue to the end of 2018-19.

Premier League officials want the system to be implemented for FA Cup and League Cup matches again next term.

There were some notable high-profile problems with the new technology when it was used for matches in this season's FA Cup.

Jon Spurling: Nothing better than seeing a young #Arsenal, external player make his first team league debut. Good luck to #JoeWillock, external - on what will hopefully be an angst free debut....

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has scored in each of his last four Premier League games for Arsenal.

Can he bag another one today?

The last player to score in five in a row for the Gunners was Olivier Giroud in April 2015.

Manav Mehta: Understand resting key players, but the Atleti game is 11 days away, surely they could be on the bench to keep the momentum going.

Daniel Cheng: Nice to see Willock being given a chance, hope he has a chance to challenge Ozil for the no.10 role!

Two Arsenal fans. Two different views

Newcastle are safely tucked in mid-table in the Premier League, 10 points from the drop zone.

For Arsenal, currently in sixth place two points ahead of Burnley, it's all about the European chase.

The top four teams will qualify for the group stage of next season's Champions League, with the fifth-placed team entering the Europa League at the group stage, as will the FA Cup winners.

Because Manchester City have already guaranteed their Champions League place, their Europa League place as EFL Cup winners reverts to the league, so the sixth-placed team will also enter the Europa League.

Realistically, unless Southampton win the FA Cup, the seventh-placed team will also qualify.

If Arsenal win the Europa League and finish outside the top four, they will qualify for the Champions League, and only two English sides will enter the Europa League as no more than seven clubs from each country can compete in Europe.

Rangers players' reaction to being drawn against Celtic in the Scottish Cup will be "etched in their minds", according to Brendan Rodgers.

Graeme Murty's players cheered when they learned the draw for the semi-finals had produced an Old Firm tie.

The sides meet at 14:30 BST today, with live text commentary on the BBC Sport website.

"This is a game they were cheering for - we respect every opponent," Rodgers said ahead of Sunday's tie at Hampden.

"One of the values of this club is humility we always show respect for every opponent."

We have some live women's football for you on this very site today. Two of them, and FA Cup semi-finals at that!

First up, Everton host Arsenal in a game that has just kicked off and can be watched on red button and online. Chelsea then take on Manchester City, which is also on red button and online as well as BBC Two.

Seeing as Arsene Wenger has thrown Joe Willock into the Arsenal starting line-up for the first time in the Premier League, we thought we'd find out a little bit about the lad.

Willock is 18-year-old and operates as an attacking midfielder or flanker.

He's an England U16 international, and has played for the Gunners in the Europa League, EFL Cup and FA Cup so far - but never in the league.

He also shares a birthday with my sister but y'all probably don't need to know that much.

Newcastle are unchanged from the 2-1 win over Leicester as manager Rafa Benitez takes advantage of a fully fit squad. On-loan striker Islam Slimani is on the bench, having missed the game against his parent club.

Arsenal give a full Premier League debut to midfielder Joe Willock, who has previously appeared for them in the Europa League, FA and League Cups. He replaces Reiss Nelson.

There is no Hector Bellerin in the squad, so Rob Holding deputises. Nacho Monreal is back in at left-back in place of Sead Kolasinac. Danny Welbeck drops to the bench after scoring twice against Southampton, to be replaced by Alexandre Lacazette.

Who wants some team news?

Coming right up...

Newcastle's record against Arsenal is pretty ropy.

The Magpies have lost their last 10 league games against the Gunners.

Their last home league win against Arsenal was on 10 December 2005, when Nolberto Solano scored the only goal.

Cue archive picture of Solano, in classic 90s attire. What a player he was.

Shaun Guillan: At 5-a-side I always used to clear the box of literally the smallest debris, would shake the nets down, and double high-five my centre back. Did it at 11-a-side and going to resume it at 6-a-side

That's quite a thorough superstition ritual, Shaun. Anyone top that?

Arsenal are the only Premier League side yet to pick up away point in 2018, losing all four of their top-flight games on the road this calendar year.

The last time the Gunners lost five successive away league games was in 1984 - a run which ended with a 3-1 victory at St James' Park, with Charlie Nicholas scoring twice against Newcastle that day.

Cue amazing picture of Nicholas in tiny shorts and a windswept mullet. Glorious.

Newcastle are staying up. Fact.

An old 'Rafa-ism' that's true despite his understandable caution until they've got to 40 points.

They'd get there with a win here, and must have a great chance against an Arsenal side coming off the back of Moscow on Thursday and now prioritising the Europa League.

Arsene Wenger will make some changes, although one in particular will surely strengthen the Gunners' chances of a first domestic away win of 2018.

Cup-tied in Europe, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has taken to the Premier League nicely, and could score in a fifth successive game - against a club he nearly joined, in a part of the world where he's made his mark before.
