Arsenal head to Newcastle United knowing victory will put them on the brink of securing fourth.

The Gunners endured a crushing 3-0 defeat against Tottenham last Thursday but their bid for a Champions League return remains in their own hands.

Mikel Arteta will need to make do without a number of key players, though, while Newcastle will be aiming to put on a show in their final home game of the season.

The Magpies are coming off back-to-back defeats against Liverpool and Manchester City but had long assured their safety after an impressive resurgence under Eddie Howe.

What is the team news?

Arsenal will be without Rob Holding, who is suspended after being sent off against Tottenham. Gabriel Magalhaes is a doubt after coming off with what appeared to be a hamstring injury while Thomas Partey and Kieran Tierney remain sidelined.

Ryan Fraser is a doubt while all of Joe Willock, Isaac Hayden, Jonjo Shelvey, Federico Fernandez and Jamal Lewis have been ruled out.
