Last year Arsene Wenger's Arsenal side snatched third on the last day of the season with Spurs ending up fourth. They will hope for the same today with victory at Newcastle.

Rosicky goes into the book - not sure why as we were watching Harper.

With 37 minutes on the clock the Newcastle fans applaud for Steve Harper - who sheds a little tear as he applauds back.

CHANCE FOR NEWCASTLE! Cabaye gets a shot away from 25 yards but his bouncing effort is clasped by Szczesny at his right-hand post.

Ben Arfa is beginning to cause problems as one darting run takes him past three Arsenal men.

Yohan Cabaye brings Podolski to ground with a loose challenge. Wenger didn't like it.

End-to-end stuff as Newcastle threaten and Cazorla then tries to free Walcott with a firm pass through the centre of the pitch. It doesn't come off though.

Cazorla shapes to shoot with his left before taking the ball on with his right and trying to slip in Walcott with a neat pass. Yanga-Mbiwa is alert to the danger though and intercepts.

Stat from Opta: "Newcastle United have won only one of their games on the final day of a Premier League season in their previous 10 campaigns (D5 L4)."

Poor attempt from Cazorla. Gibbs races clear on the left, ducks away from Debuchy and feeds the Spaniard but he lifts his shot over the bar.

Rosicky pings a pass wide for Oxlade-Chamberlain but the sub's touch is disastrously heavy.

Oxlade-Chamberlain will drop in alongside Ramsey in the two deep roles for Arsenal. That seems a bit lightweight.

Off comes Arteta, his calf injury bringing an early end to his game. The Ox enters the fray.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is about to come on: the Arteta gamble hasn't paid off as his injury has flared up.

Gorgeous touch from Rosicky followed by some intricate footwork from Cazorla but Arsenal lose possession when the ball goes to the right.

CHANCE FOR ARSENAL! Cazorla whips in a dangerous free-kick and after Mertescaker gets his head to the ball, Coloccini flicks it behind off his face. Ref Howard Webb misses the second contact though and it's a goal kick.

Rosicky lifts a pass over the top of the defence for Walcott but he can't get on the end of it.

Stat from Opta: "Santi Cazorla assisted four goals in Arsenal’s midweek win over Wigan, becoming only the fourth player to do this in a Premier League game in the last 10 seasons."

Mertesacker produces a big clearing header from a corner as Gutierrez goes into the book for pulling back Walcott to prevent a break.

Rosicky embarks on a clever jinking run but he can't find Walcott to his right as Yanga-Mbiwa intervenes.

Sagna has to be alert to prevent Gutierrez from getting on the end of a one-two.

Cabaye chips the free-kick in to the edge of the box but Taylor is penalised for charging into Kieran Gibbs.
