Champions League chase
Arsenal are in control of the race to join Liverpool, City and Chelsea in next season’s Champions League, with a three-point lead and a game in hand over fifth-placed Tottenham.
The Gunners are not in action until Monday, when they travel to Crystal Palace, giving Spurs the chance to go fourth should they beat Newcastle by two or more goals.
Manchester United are still in contention for the top four but need to show a consistent run of form they have failed to produce all season, starting with Leicester’s trip to Old Trafford.
