Three things for Rafa Benitez to ponder before Newcastle take on Arsenal

|

An eye or two on Europe?

Talk has turned to Europe after Newcastle rose to 10th in the table and banished their relegation fears with victory at Leicester.

However fanciful it may be, United are one of the form sides in the top-flight in 2018 and have put themselves into the Europa League conversation after taking 13 points from the last six games, losing only to Liverpool at Anfield at the beginning of March.

Reeling in seventh-placed Burnley is an unenviably impossible task given the 11 point gap between the Clarets and Newcastle, but Benitez will hope to channel the positivity derived from his side being discussed as potential contenders for European football once again.
