Arsenal host Newcastle in a potential play-off for second place in the Premier League.

But Eddie Howe’s side have a woeful Premier League record at the Emirates and have not won there since 2010 - losing 17 and drawing three of their last 20 trips there.

A victory would lift Newcastle above Arsenal before finishing the season at home to Everton as they look to return to the Champions League.
