The last few games in the Premier League are on the horizon and tonight's game at 8:00pm UK time is crucial for both teams.
Newcastle manager, Alan Pardew got a bit upset a few games ago and left David Meyler, the Irish footballer playing with Hull City, with a nasty bruise on his face after a head-butt. The cheap shot put Pardew on suspension for 7 games and tonight's match is his first match since.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger thinks that we will see a much calmer Pardew as he related, "He will try to control himself much more, at the Emirates we had no incidents because the distance between the two managers is big." He went on by saying, "sometimes you get upset because you hear what the other manager is saying and you go, 'What is he doing, why is he talking to the referee and the fourth official?' At Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs, you basically are very close."
With Arsenal currently in 4th place and Newcastle in 9th, tonight's game is a chance for both teams to climb up the ladder and improve their position for next year. Arsenal has 70 points while Newcastle has 46 but even though the latter has the home field advantage Newcastle will be playing for the win to try and stop Arsenal's UEFA Champions League dreams. The visitors will be without their star striker Papiss Cisse, out with a broken kneecap which ended his season during their loss last week at home to Swansea City.
