This season’s Premier League champion may already be obvious, but the tension doesn’t go down as we enter match week 37 of 38. Two season favourites who are currently in the top three of the league table will be meeting on the field on 18 May. Arsenal will be hosting Newcastle United at the Emirates Stadium in London for their last but one game of the season.
The two teams previously met during match week 10. On 2 November Newcastle hosted Arsenal and secured a 1 – 0 win.
The Gunners occupy the second place in the league table with 18 wins, 14 draws, and 4 losses. In this position, they are assured to get at least a pass to the Europa League league phase, but also qualify for the Champions League league phase.
The Magpies, who only have two points less than their rivals, climbed to the third position in the league table since last week. This gives them a guaranteed ticket to the Conference League play-off round, but they have all the chances to qualify for the Champions League league phase. Their record includes 20 wins, 6 draws, and 10 losses.
