Arsenal have been the next best team to Liverpool for much of the season. However, the Gunners may still not finish second.

On the other side, Chelsea has been picking up steam. With a 3-1 win over Liverpool last weekend, the Blues have gone unbeaten in six straight league matches, having won three contests in a row. In the tight race that both clubs are in, three points is almost a necessity to ensure they stay in the top five.

A 2-0 win against Premier League top-five rival Chelsea moved Newcastle closer to the Champions League next season.
