The Premier League has entered its final stage in the 2024/25 season. The two suspenses of the league championship and relegation have been announced in advance. At present, only the suspense of competing for the qualification to participate in the Champions League next season is left. There is only 3 points between second and sixth in the league, and it is still a huge suspense to see who will win the last four Champions League places. At 23:30 p.m. on May 18, the 37th round of the Premier League will usher in the focus match, and Arsenal will play against Newcastle at home, which is also the six-point battle in the top five.

Arsenal plays against Newcastle, Arteta has a luxurious lineup of 1.1 billion euros, and has stars such as Havertz, Jesus, Sterling, Odgao, Martinelli, Trosad, Saka, Merino, Rice, Thomas, etc. In Newcastle, Eddie Howe holds 635 million euros, and the team has famous players such as Murphy, Isaac, Barnes, Gordon, Jolinton, Willoc, Longstaff, Tonali, Guimarães, etc. The sum of the two teams' worth is about 13.3 billion yuan.

Arsenal has been the Premier League championship team in the past few seasons, but they both lost at Manchester City. Manchester City's form has declined this season, but Arsenal did not seize the opportunity and was left behind by Liverpool and eventually missed the championship again. The Premier League was disappointed, and the League Cup and the FA Cup were also eliminated early. In the Champions League, Arsenal killed a strong opponent and advanced to the semi-finals, but was defeated by Paris Saint-Germain at home and away.

Because of being distracted to the Champions League, Arsenal's performance in the Premier League at the end of the season was not satisfactory. He has not won three consecutive rounds recently. He currently ranks second in the standings with 68 points with 18 wins, 14 draws and 4 losses, and is only 2 points ahead of Newcastle, Chelsea and Aston Villa behind him. Not only is the runner-up position in the runner-up, but he may even be squeezed out of the top five, and even the qualification to participate in the Champions League next season may be lost.

In contrast, Newcastle defeated Liverpool in the League Cup this season to win the championship, and won 7 games in the last 9 league rounds. After defeating Chelsea at home in the last round, he ranked third in the standings with 66 points with 66 points, only 2 points behind Arsenal, and saw the possibility of competing for the runner-up in the league. With Newcastle's one round less game, the points were tied with Chelsea and Aston Villa, leading Manchester City behind him by 1 point and taking the initiative in the five.

Arsenal scored 66 goals in the Premier League this season and conceded only 33 goals. It is the best team in the Premier League defense. A total of 19 players in the team have scored goals, including Havertz who scored 15 goals in various competitions, making him the team's number one scorer. Newcastle has scored 68 goals this season, second only to Liverpool. A total of 13 players in the team have scored goals, including Isaac who scored 27 goals and had 6 assists in various competitions, making him the team's best scorer.

Judging from the injuries of the two teams, Arsenal, Havertz, Trosard, Jesus, Rice, Gabriel, Fu'an Jianyang and Timber were absent due to injuries. In Newcastle, Jolinton, Willlock, Trippier, Taggart, Botman, Hall was injured and unable to play. Judging from the meeting records of the two teams, judging from the past 10 matches, Arsenal has won 4 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses. Among the three matches this season, Arsenal has lost to Newcastle three times, conceded 5 goals and failed to score one goal.

This game is Arsenal's last home game, and the team's desire to win is still strong, but the injury of Rice, Trosard and other main players in the team has a huge impact on Arsenal. Newcastle is full of morale, and a battle will determine the success or failure of the season, so this is a game where neither side can afford to lose. It is optimistic that the two sides will decide the outcome.
