Newcastle Form & Balance Check
Newcastle United have had a turbulent season. The Magpies won just one of their first 20 league games and already looked like certain relegation candidates. But the fans remained optimistic, as the takeover of the club by Arab investors was announced at the beginning of November. The club invested the available transfer millions in new personnel in the winter, which immediately brought about a turnaround. In the second-round table, Newcastle occupy an outstanding third place with 32 points from 17 games, which has taken the club out of the relegation battle and into mid-table.
Next clash with top team
At the same time, Newcastle kept putting together strong series. Recently, the Magpies won four games in a row, but then there were two defeats in a row. However, these were no cause for concern in view of the opponents, as they were up against the two best teams in the league, Liverpool and Man City. In the home game against the Reds, Newcastle held their own and were only narrowly beaten 1-0. The clash with City, however, was a little more in the opponents’ favour, with Newcastle suffering a 5-0 defeat. The next top team is Arsenal on Monday.

Arsenal form & balance check
The Gunners have taken a big step forward this season. A Champions League appearance next year is more within reach than it has been for a long time and would be a balm for the battered souls of the fans. Since the end of the Wenger era, the club has been running after its former success, difficult times lie behind the Londoners. But Arsenal made the right decision by signing and, above all, keeping Mikel Arteta. The coach himself has also remained patient, allowing for the continuity needed at the club, making Arsenal a top team once again.
Painful defeat at Tottenham
Now it’s up to the Gunners to finally reward themselves for their successful season with the top flight. Arsenal have it in their own hands thanks to their current fourth-place finish, but with only a one-point lead over pursuers and arch-rivals Tottenham, they can hardly afford to let their guard down. After the Gunners had been in top form recently with four wins in a row, they suffered a clear 3-0 defeat in their latest clash with Spurs, which has made the battle for the top flight even more exciting. Kane (2) and Son scored for Tottenham, while Arsenal were outnumbered for an hour after Holding was sent off.

Predicted line-up – last update on 13 May 2022
Newcastle coach Eddie Howe looks set to have to continue without his important two central midfielders Shelvey and Willock. Ex-Hoffenheim player Joelinton had to help out on the eight. Schär, Trippier, Wilson and Murphy are further alternatives for the starting eleven. On the other side, Mikel Arteta is missing the injured Tierney and Partey. Otherwise, the Spaniard is likely to bring his top eleven in this important match, only Cedric is another option for the starting eleven.
