Is Newcastle vs Arsenal on TV tonight? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch Premier League fixture

Newcastle United host Arsenal in the Premier League this evening.

Eddie Howe’s side resurgence has been halted by back-to-back defeats against Liverpool and Manchester City, however, the Magpies are well clear of the relegation battle and will already have one eye on the transfer window.

For Arsenal, the stakes could hardly be higher. A crushing 3-0 defeat by Tottenham on Thursday meant the Gunners were just one point clear of their arch-rivals in the race for fourth.

Spurs’ 1-0 win over Burnley has piled on the pressure for the Gunners, who must win to retake fourth ahead of the final day of the season.
