The Magpies are without a win for over a month now and find themselves 14th in the Premier League table. They have a poor record at the Emirates Stadium, winless in their last 13 trips there and have only scored once in their last nine visits.Player focus – Declan RiceWe chose Rice as the player to watch in this one because moments like these define whether a good midfielder can become a truly great one. A clip that’s been circulating from last weekend’s defeat to Manchester City, captured him insisting “it’s not done,” a statement that now feels like it demands backing up on the pitch.Whilst visible disappointed Arsenal's English midfielder Declan Rice feels there's still hope for his side in the Premier League title race This is exactly the kind of fixture where Rice needs to impose himself, take control of midfield, and drive his team forward rather than react to the game.

If he has ambitions of reaching the level of Premier League stardom achieved by the legendary midfielders before him, then dragging his side out of poor form with a commanding performance and a win against Newcastle would be a powerful place to start.PredictionsRob: Arsenal 2 Newcastle 1Shamseer: Arsenal 1 Newcastle 1Sunderland vs Nottingham Forest Friday 24 April - 11:00 (UAE Time) Sunderland host Nottingham Forest in a Friday night fixture tonight, with significant stakes at both ends of the table. The Black Cats are aiming to close a three-point gap to the European spots, while Forest will look to move further clear of the relegation zone.The hosts will have to deal with defensive absences, including Omar Alderete, which could be a concern heading into such an important game.

On the other side, Forest are without key defender Murillo, along with long-term absentee Callum Hudson-Odoi. A key player to watch is Morgan Gibbs-White, who comes into the game in excellent form, having scored six goals in his last six matches. And they are in a battle of survival.

However, they will need to address a recent lack of cutting edge in front of goal, having failed to score in four of their last five matches.Fulham's Belgian defender Timothy Castagne vies with Liverpool's German midfielder Florian Wirtz Villa could have one eye on their Europa League semi-final commitments, which may raise concerns about fatigue, but Villa can still cause problems.

The Spaniard has a perfect record against Fulham in the Premier League, winning all eight of his previous meetings. Here the interesting thing is that Fulham are also fighting for a European place even though currently they are placed in the bottom half of the table.Predictions Rob: Fulham 2 Villa 1 Shamseer: Fulham 1 Villa 1 West Ham v Everton Saturday 25 April - 18:00 (UAE Time)West Ham host Everton this Saturday in a high-stakes Premier League clash, with the Hammers battling for survival and the Toffees chasing a European spot.
