Arsenal travel to resurgent Newcastle on Sunday with the threat of defeat looming over St James' Park
Arsenal’s domestic campaign is limping to a sorry conclusion as boss Mikel Arteta draws focus on the Europa League instead, and their last chance at securing Champions League football for next season.
The Gunners came into the weekend 10th in the division with just five Premier League fixtures remaining and on a two-game winless streak.
Last week's 1-0 loss to Everton compounded the misery at the Emirates, but Arteta hopes advancing to the Europa League final this May will pave over the cracks exposed by a gruelling domestic campaign.
It means Sunday's tie with Newcastle could be another sorry affair for the London club. Newcastle are in high spirits after going four games unbeaten to pull away from the relegation zone.
It appears as though Steve Bruce’s troops will survive the drop this term and will be looking for another scalp after holding Liverpool to a 1-1 draw last time out.

Newcastle v Arsenal team news
Newcastle: Last weekend’s hero Joe Willock cannot play against his parent club, while Jamaal Lascelles won’t be back from injury until later in May.
Ryan Fraser, Karl Darlow and Isaac Hayden are out, while Bruce is waiting on an update on Fabian Schar, who is only just reigning match fitness.
Arsenal: David Luiz could feature here but may not be risked, while Kieran Tierney is still a fortnight off his comeback from injury.
Arteta may opt against using Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang or Alexandre Lacazette in the hope the pair can both bet fit for their Europa League semi-final second leg against Villarreal on Thursday.

Our prediction: Newcastle v Arsenal
Newcastle’s resurgence in recent weeks is a testament to their team togetherness and they thoroughly deserved the point at Anfield last time out. Whether they can pinch all three against Arsenal on Sunday remains to be seen, but Bruce will be confident.
After all, Arsenal’s domestic campaign is all-but over and attention is fully focused on the Europa League and Thursday’s second leg against Villarreal.
Arteta will probably make changes here and Arsenal do have plenty of exciting young talent that is arguably performing better than the more experienced players this term. But with Newcastle on this sort of form, the hosts will hope to claim victory.
Our prediction: Newcastle 1-0 Arsenal (14/1 at bet365)
