Arsenal 1-0 Newcastle United LIVE: Eze rifles effort into top corner before he and Havertz limp off

Arsenal will hope to keep their Premier League title hopes alive this afternoon when they welcome Newcastle United to the Emirates.

Mikel Arteta’s side took a hammer blow against Manchester City last weekend as they were beaten 2-1 in their pivotal meeting.

It meant that the Gunners allowed Man City back into the title battle, handing the momentum over to Pep Guardiola and co who went top of the table with their win at Burnley on Wednesday.

But a vital three points against a struggling Newcastle side could help change that heading into the final few games of the season.

• Premier League game at the Emirates to kick-off at 5:30pm
• Arsenal: Raya, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Hincapie, Zubimendi, Rice, Madueke, Odegaard, Eze, Havertz
• Newcastle: Pope, Miley, Thiaw, Botman, Burn, Tonali, Guimaraes, Willock, Murphy, Ramsey, Osula
