Storylines
Arsenal: The stakes are high for Unai Emery's team, who have conceded just three goals in their last five matches in the league. A few weeks back, it looked like Arsenal would be a contender for fourth place, but with the poor form of rival Tottenham, third place isn't out of the question. A win on Monday would move Arsenal into sole possession of third place over Spurs and Manchester United with a two-point advantage.
Newcastle: Rafa Benitez's team knows all about being in the battle for relegation, but the team is in decent shape at the moment. Seven points above the drop zone is hardly comfortable, but two more wins will likely be enough to stay up. Going to Arsenal as the heavy underdog, a draw would be a satisfying result for Miguel Almiron and company.
Arsenal vs. Newcastle prediction
The Gunners bounce back from an early deficit and move into third place.
