Draw against Liverpool was much more difficult as Arsenal conceded two goals in the first half, although Arsenal managed to equalize in the end.
The next match will be much more important because if Arsenal lose against Newcastle then their position will drop to third place.
This is not just about qualifying for the Champions League but the prestige that Arsenal needs to bet on so in that match they have to win.
Arsenal have failed to dominate for three seasons in a row and they have always struggled to achieve the title despite playing consistently in the early to mid-season.
The draw is certainly more detrimental to Arsenal because the Arsenal team still has the potential to be shifted by another team if they lose in the next match, but if Arsenal get the same thing again as they experienced at Liverpool's home, of course Arsenal will still be in the runner-up position. So the key in the next match is that Arsenal must not lose so that Arsenal can still survive with a slight advantage in points from Newcastle, but if Arsenal can win at home, it will be even more detrimental to Newcastle because Newcastle's position can still be overtaken by Manchester City.
