THE race for a Champions League spot is edging towards boiling point and second-place Arsenal host third-place Newcastle at the Emirates THIS AFTERNOON!
Goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Mikel Merino earned 10-man Arsenal a hard-fought point at Anfield last week despite being two down inside the first 25 minutes.
But Merino’s sending off in the match has given manager Mikel Arteta a selection problem ahead of today’s crucial encounter.
Kai Havertz returned to training in midweek after four months out with a hamstring injury.
The Gunners host a Toon side who comfortably beat Chelsea 2-0 last weekend, and Newcastle have already slayed Arsenal THREE times this season.
