Arsenal vs Newcastle United
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: Emirates Stadium
Date: Monday, 1 April, 2019
Kick-off time: 8pm GMT
Arsenal welcome Newcastle to the capital tonight as they look to tighten their grip on a top-four finish.
The Gunners currently sit fifth in the table, but Manchester United and Tottenham -fourth and third respectively - are just a point ahead having played a game more.
Tottenham's 2-1 defeat at Liverpool on Sunday offers Arsenal a golden chance to go two points clear in third place, but they face a Newcastle outfit rediscovered some resolve under Rafa Benitez of late, coming from behind in their last two matches to secure four points.
