Ford Monday Night Football: Arsenal v Newcastle
7pm, Mon, Sky Sports 1 HD
Sometimes you can find a positive way to go out of a competition and I think Arsenal will be buzzing after their amazing game with AC Milan.
They might be out of the Champions League, but in their last three games they've played Tottenham, Liverpool and AC Milan, won all three and scored 10 goals.
Don't get me wrong, they rode their luck big time against Liverpool, but maybe their luck is changing. I think they will go on and get fourth in the Premier League now because they're the team in form.
And Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain showed us what an unbelievable talent he is. They put him in midfield against a top European team and his performance spoke volumes. He won't be far off becoming a legend for Arsenal.
On that display he won't be a million miles away from England's squad for the Euros either. I always say that if you're taking squad players who are unlikely to start, then you should take a couple who can play in three or four positions. He must be a dark horse for getting in that squad.
I thought Gervinho was poor on Tuesday. Out of everybody he was the one who didn't perform and Arsene Wenger may be tempted to put Chamberlain back on the wing. But I thought the midfield trio of him, Tomas Rosicky and Alex Song was outstanding, so it's a hard decision.
They're full of confidence and I think they will beat Newcastle. Alan Pardew's team have had an unbelievable season, but they've had to work their socks off every week and I think it's caught up with them.
No matter what happens, this has been an unbelievable season for them. They just need to make sure they finish above Sunderland!
PAUL PREDICTS: 3-1
