Yahoo Sports Newcastle United vs Arsenal LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow live coverage as Newcastle United face Arsenal in the Premier League today.
Manchester City are reigning champions after a dominant 2020/21 season and Pep Guardiola's side are favourites to win it again boasting as they do one of the best squads in Europe.
European champions Chelsea have proven they have what it takes to dethrone City, however, having done it in last season's Champions League final and will be hoping to add a domestic title to the one won in Porto.
Liverpool were winners back in 2020 ending a 30-year wait for league glory and Jurgen Klopp is sure to have them back challenging again at the sharp end this season too while Manchester United will be looking to be back in the title picture with Cristiano Ronaldo returning to his former club in the summer.
It's not all about the action at the top though with Norwich, Watford and Brentford promoted to the top tier for 2020/21 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.

The referee blows the whistle to end a goalless first half, and it's been an impressive opening period for the hosts. They've dominated possession and have gone the closest to breaking the deadlock, through a low Saint-Maximin shot that was tipped wide by Ramsdale. Saka also went close through a similar effort, though those have been the only two shots on target in the first half.

Tomiyasu is down clutching at his hamstring, and it doesn't look good for the Japanese defender. Arteta may be forced into his first change here.

21:37 , admin
Saint-Maximin shifts onto his right and flies past Tomiyasu, before letting fly. It looks to be sneaking into the bottom corner, until a strong hand from Ramsdale tips the shot wide.

The visitors meanwhile still have lots to play for in their remaining two games, as they battle fierce rivals Tottenham for Champions League qualification.

The hosts head into their final home game of the season knowing that they will be playing Premier League football next year, which is some achievement considering they failed to win any of their first 14 league matches. They are now in 14th position, although they will move up to 12th with three points here. The Magpies have been in mixed form of late, winning three matches in succession before losing their last two.
