Newcastle has been fantastic over the past couple of months, as they have managed to put themselves a very safe distance ahead of the relegation zone they once inhabited. They are now up against a very tough task this Sunday when they will play host to Arsenal. Arsenal have also been in solid form lately, and just recently saw their winning streak come to an end, but it was an indifferent draw in the Europa League.

Newcastle (10-14-8) are coming off a pretty solid performance on the road against Leicester City, whom they defeated by 2-1. It was a balanced first half, where both teams had precisely three scoring chances each, but with it was Newcastle who took the lead at the 18th minute with Shelvey. The second half was pretty much like the first, and Newcastle were not only holding out great, but they doubled their lead at the 75th minute. Leicester City finally scored a consolation goal at the 84th minute but was unable to change the outcome. Newcastle has now won three in a row, and have lost once in their last eight (4-1-3). They are now sitting at the 10th spot of the Premier League with 38 points, safely ten points ahead of the relegation zone, and three points behind Everton. They will be coming into this match with just a single injury concern, as Gamez is listed as doubtful.

On the other hand, Arsenal (16-10-6) scored two late goals to pull even against CSKA Moscow on the road (2-2). They had defeated the Russians by 1-4 at home in the first leg and now moved to the semi-finals of the Europa League, where they are up against Atletico Madrid. Before that, Arsenal was on a seven-match winning streak in all competitions and had defeated Southampton by 2-3 last week for the Premier League. They did have to come back from a one-goal deficit there, but they scored a late goal to grab all three points. Arsenal is now sitting at the 6th spot of the Premier League with 54 points, three points behind Chelsea and five ahead of Burnley. They will make this trip with quite a few injury concerns, as Cazorla, Mkhitaryan, and Ospina have been ruled out, while Xhaka and Maitland-Niles are still being listed as doubts.
