The race to finish in the top four of the Premier League was blown wide open on Thursday night when Tottenham claimed a dominant win over Arsenal.
The Gunners needed to beat their fierce rivals to confirm their place in next season's Champions League. But Mikel Arteta's men fell apart, seeing Rob Holding sent off as Spurs took revenge for their defeat at the Emirates Stadium earlier this campaign.
There are now just two games remaining of this year's Premier League, with the final rounds taking place over this weekend and next weekend. The race for a top four spot is set to go down to that final day, with Arsenal needing to recover from Thursday's dreadful defeat quickly.
Arteta's men will have to wait until Monday for the chance to do that though, when they travel to Newcastle United. The Magpies have dropped to 14th in the table having previously broken into the top-half.
Eddie Howe has successfully guided them away from the relegation zone, in part thanks to a busy January transfer window. But they have lost their last two games, being narrowly defeated by Liverpool before being hammered by table toppers Manchester City.
Tottenham also smashed Howe's men at the start of April, suggesting the Gunners will be heavy favourites to win. The reverse fixture came back in November in Howe's first game in charge, with Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli both scoring in the second-half to win the game for Arsenal.
HAVE YOUR SAY! Who do you think will win the race to finish in the top four? Comment below.
The day before the Gunners travel to St James' Park, Spurs have the chance to leapfrog them in the Premier League table. Conte's men host struggling Burnley, who saw a four-game unbeaten run ended by Aston Villa last Saturday.
The Clarets are only outside the relegation zone on goal difference, having sacked Sean Dyche last month. They did actually win the reverse fixture though, a game that left Conte fuming after the final whistle.
If Burnley claim a surprise win and Arsenal see off Newcastle, then the Gunners will secure Champions League qualification on Monday. If Spurs do defeat the Clarets though, the race for the top four will go down to the final day.
Though they are at home, it would appear that Arsenal will have the tougher test a week on Sunday. They host Everton, who are still fighting for their lives at the bottom of the table and are on a three-game unbeaten run.
The Toffees have claimed impressive wins over Manchester United and Chelsea in recent weeks, though their form has remained mixed under Frank Lampard. Former boss Rafa Benitez led them to a superb comeback win over the Gunners in the reverse fixture, something Arteta will need to be wary of.
While Arsenal are hosting Everton, Tottenham will travel to Norfolk to take on already-relegated Norwich City. The Canaries have endured an awful campaign, winning just five games in the top-flight.
Tottenham fired three goals past them in the reverse fixture back in December and will be expected to at least replicate that scoreline. If Arsenal and Spurs finish on level points after these final two games, it will be the latter who qualify for the Champions League due to their far superior goal difference.
