Newcastle United take on Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday, with the hosts looking to take another step towards surviving relegation. Arsenal, meanwhile, will be looking to remain in the top half of the table ahead of their Europa League semi-final second leg against Villarreal on Thursday. After a winless run of six league games saw Newcastle slip perilously closer to the relegation zone, Steve Bruce’s side have since taken eight points from their last four matches to move nine points clear of 18th-placed Fulham with only five matches remaining.
Newcastle lost 3-0 at Brighton they seemed Championship bound and Steve Bruce looked set to be sacked. Instead, Mike Ashley opted to stick rather than twist and this apparent gamble on the part of the club’s owner has seen the team collect eight points from their last four games. Should an Arsenal side likely to have one eye on next week’s Europa League semi-final, second leg against Villarreal be beaten Newcastle will reach the 39-point mark and be virtually certain of avoiding relegation. Yet, while an attacking combination of Callum Wilson and Allan Saint-Maximin look set to stretch Mikel Arteta’s defence, the Tynesiders must cope without their recent super-sub, the unavailable Arsenal loanee Joe Willock.
