Jun 05 2026 02:16 · By onefootball.com · 8 Reads
Arsenal take on Newcastle United this afternoon knowing a win will secure Champions League qualification.
The Gunners sit second in the Premier League table but a downturn in form means points are required. Arsenal have failed to win in five games across all competitions.
The North Londoners will confirm their place in the Champions League with a win, though defeat will see third-placed Newcastle climb above them in the table.
– Sunday, 18 May 2025
Newcastle arrive in the capital in good form and have lost just one of their last nine in the Premier League . The Magpies have already beaten Arsenal three times in all competitions this season, without conceding a goal.
Kai Havertz could feature for Arsenal after returning to training following a long-term hamstring injury. The German was initially ruled out for the campaign but has made a sooner-than-expected recovery. Declan Rice and Leandro Trossard also took part in training this week after sustaining knocks a week ago.
In terms of absentees, Arsenal remain without Gabriel Maghalaes, Gabriel Jesus, Jorginho, and Takehiro Tomiyasu.
Arsenal predicted XI: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Kiwior, Calafiori; Partey, Rice; Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli, Trossard.
Arsenal host Newcastle United in the Premier League on Sunday May 18th 2025. Kick-off in North London is 16:30 BST.
