⚽ St. James’ Park is hosting an anticipated matchup between Arsenal and host Newcastle tonight at 6:30pm as part of the sixth round of the Premier League. The Magpies sit at 15th on the leaderboard with just six points to their name, hoping to reap all three points from this match to appease their supporters and climb up the ladder. Meanwhile, the Gunners find themselves in seventh place with 10 points — a victory would see them climb up to second place behind league leaders Liverpool, who lost yesterday to Crystal Palace.

ALSO- Aston Villa will be welcoming Fulham onto the Villa Park pitch at 4pm.

The Blaugrana have a golden chance to top the leaderboard after Real’s shocking stumble yesterday. Barcelona will be hosting Real Sociedad at the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium tonight at 7pm, as part of the seventh round of La Liga. The hosts currently sit second with 16 points from six matches, and will be walking on the pitch with everything to gain after Real Madrid’s heavy 5-2 defeat against Atlético Madrid yesterday. A Barça victory would put the team on the throne with just one point to spare.

The Rossoneri challenge the champions: Milan will be welcoming Napoli onto the San Siro pitch for the fifth round of Serie A tonight at 9:45pm.
