    FT: Arsenal 2-0 Newcastle. Well it wasn't exactly thrilling, but the job is done for Arsenal and they're up to 3rd place in the Premier League table. 3 points separates them now from 6th placed Chelsea, with Manchester United and Tottenham lurking as the top 4 race continues to excite. Newcastle will remain in 14th, and they're rather lucky to be there after today's performance, they sit 7 points off the drop and are probably safe.
  • 90'
    4 minutes of stoppage time, Newcastle will not be put out of their misery just yet...
  • 89'
    Of course, this result takes Arsenal back above Tottenham in the table, leading to the possibility of St Totteringham's day returning this season...
  • 86'
    Arsenal going for the jugular now as Aubameyang nearly taps in from six yards but can't quite get his feet around it. Newcastle might as well get on the long coach ride home and try and beat the traffic.
  • 85'
    Henrikh Mkhitaryan comes on for Mesut Ozil.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!

  • 83'
    GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLL! Game, set and match Arsenal. Alexandre Lacazette with a delightful chip over Dubravka and that's it, Newcastle have had barely anything so far in the first half and it seems unlikely they can claw two goals back, Arsenal are going to be third come the end of the night.
  • 78'
    Ayoze Perez is replaced by Muto.

    Newcastle change: Isaac Hayden is replaced by Ki Seung Yeung
  • 64'
    Arsenal earn a corner following a Lacazette break which almost comes to some sort of fruition, Sokratis hits the corner over the bar. As you were.
  • 63'
    Arsenal are once again totally in control, 74% possession going to the home side since half time, yet they cannot find a way towards goal...

    Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has replaced Alex Iwobi. Can he bring some excitement back into this tie?
  • 60'
    NAcho Monreal is shown a yellow card.
  • 60'
    This game looks dead and buried even at one-nil. Newcastle cannot get anything going forward, and Arsenal are lacking the goal scoring presence without Aubameyang.
  • 58'
    Emery has his hand around Aubameyang's shoulder as he looks to kill this tie off, both sides looking flat so far in the second half.
  • 56'
    Maitland-Niles is still on the field, as Lacazette and Ozil combine well, only for the German to spurn a chance over the bar.
  • 51'
    Matt Ritchie get's forward and Newcastle are in a good position now... Ainsley Maitland-Niles has gone down holding his knee, Carl Jenkinson comes away from his warm up.
  • 49'
    Newcastle come out looking to equalize with immediate effect but cannot do so as Almiron's cross cannot reach Rondon.
  • 46'
    We're back here at the Emirates. Arsenal will be looking for more of the same as they close in on a top 4 sport.
  • 46'
    HT: Arsenal 1-0 Newcastle United. Aaron Ramsey's goal has Arsenal in 3rd place as things stand with that incredible piece of defending keeping the away side in the game. It will be interesting to see how Newcastle come out, as they can't really afford to sit back now they're one down, but going forward may not be the answer either with the quality that Arsenal possess...
  • 46'
    CLOSE! Incredible defending on the line by Matt Ritchie to deny Alexandre Lacazette who had beaten Dubravka with a magnificent volley on the turn, that could have easily been game over...
  • 45'
    Just the one minute of stoppage time here in a fairly uneventful first half at the Emirates.
  • 44'
    Some more good play going forward gives Sead Kolasinac a real chance there to put a good ball in but he cannot deliver, and it ends up in the hands of Martin Dubravka.
  • 40'
    Arsenal now beginning to take control fully, some nice fancy stuff from Ozil and Iwobi pleases the crowd before the cross is just blocked by Dubravka, Newcastle looking a bit shaky now.
  • 36'
    A real mix up between Arsenal's two defenders there as Mustafi almost gifts Rondon a shot at goal, Sokratis just saves the day, but once again those two haven't looked in control at the back...
  • 34'
    That Arsenal goal was the first shot of the game... and having deflected off the post, it wasn't even on target... I believe the saying is quality over quantity...
  • 31'
    CLOSE! A rather fanciful ball over the top by Matt Ritchie and Salomon Rondon completely out strengthens Sokratis and Newcastle have a couple of corners in quick succession, nothing doing though.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!

  • 30'
    GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL! Arsenal finally convert their possession into a goal! Some more nice passing and the ball ends up bouncing of the leg of Yedlin and Ramsey hits it home of the left hand upright!
  • 28'
    Unai Emery looks on frustratingly as his side are currently (hopelessly) trying to get past the Newcastle defence, 86% possession in the last 10 minutes, yet I don't think they've had a shot...
  • 26'
    Newcastle's defence is looking very organised as they're preventing Arsenal from doing any noteworthy things with the ball, in fact the home side are yet to really have a legal chance.
  • 25'
    Having seen the replay of the disallowed goal again, there's no doubt that it was the right call, Sokratis clearly didn't need to tug at his man's shirt, but in doing so he did bring his man down and a free kick was given....
  • 22'
    Yet for all that possession all the Gunners have had to cheer about is 2 corners, and a disallowed goal of course...
  • 19'
    I say Newcatly are getting more confident but there is no denying that so far Arsenal are in complete control of this tie, dominating possession and territory, 71% possession they've had, as the statistic helpfully pops up at the perfect moment
  • 16'
    Newcastle have got themselves into this game now and are starting to look a bit more confident after that disallowed goal, Salomon Rondon tore apart Lionel Messi's Argentina, can he do the same here?
  • 12'
    OOOhhhhh, Arsenal thought they'd scored there when Aaron Ramsey put the ball in the back of the net, but the referee disallows the goal after Sokratis fouls Dummett.
  • 10'
    Alexandre Lacazette is proving to be a handful for the Newcastle defenders as he looks to nip in behind a couple of times, nothing given though by the defenders and he's then flagged offside.
  • 7'
    Matteo Guendouzi brings down Miguel Almiron and the referee gives a free kick.
  • 5'
    Martin Dubravka comes out of his area and secures possession for Newcastle after a sumptious chip over the top by Alexandre Lacazette is headed back by Paul Dummett.
  • 3'
    Arsenal have had all the ball in the opening exchanges of this game, and, as expected are dominating the game.

    We're live at the Emirates!

    Newcastle have picked up just 1 point from 15 ties away at the big six in the past 3 seasons... Not a particularly good statistic for the away supporters...
  • PRVW
    The teams are out and we are almost under way in London, this is a very important game for Arsenal as they look to place themselves in 3rd place in the Premier League and get back to Champions League action next season.
  • PRVW
    Newcastle lie in 14th place and are 7 points clear of relegation. A win tonight would lift the Magpies up to 12th in the league and although they're almost assured of safety, a win would virtually guarantee it.
  • PRVW
    Arsenal are fighting for top 4 in the Premier League, sitting just a point behind 3rd place Tottenham and 4th place Manchester United. Should they win tonight, they'll climb up to 3rd in the table and will be back in the Champions League places for next season.
  • PRVW
    So then, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is rested for the Gunners, but he is on the bench, the Gabonese forward has scored 17 Premier League Goals this season, but Unai Emery has left him out of his starting lineup for this evening's clash.

    Lineups: Newcastle United: Dubravka; Ritchie, Dummett, Lascelles, Lejeune, Yedlin; Almiron, Hayden, Diame, Ayoze Perez; Rondon.
