A big clash in the Premier League is upon us as Arsenal and Newcastle United go head to head in the North London Derby.

Arsenal have a big opportunity to finish in fourth place and claim the last Champions League spot; however, they made this harder when they lost to Tottenham Hotspur recently. They now have to win all their games to finish in fourth.

Newcastle have had a perfect campaign during the second half of the season, and new manager Eddie Howe has not gone unnoticed as he has been nominated for Manager of the Season in the division.

With only two games left of the season, football fans will be watching as much as possible as it will be a long summer waiting for the 2022/23 season to start.
