A look at what's happening in European football today:

ENGLAND

Arsenal look to reclaim their place in the English Premier League's top four, at the expense of north London rivals Tottenham, with a win at Newcastle. Tottenham beat Burnley 1-0 yesterday to move two points above Arsenal in the fight for UEFA Champions League qualification. If Arsenal win at St. James' Park, Mikel Arteta's team knows another win at home to Everton on the final day would secure a top-four finish. Third place is still up for grabs, too. Chelsea occupy that spot and are two points ahead of Tottenham. Arsenal have injury concerns at centre back, with Ben White and Gabriel doubts and Rob Holding suspended.

ITALY

Juventus will be looking for a positive result against Lazio in their final home game in Serie A this season after another difficult campaign. Massimiliano Allegri's team is guaranteed to finish fourth in the league and lost both the Italian Cup final and the Italian Super Cup to Inter Milan. Lazio, however, need the points in their push for a European place. Fiorentina are hoping to qualify for Europe and travel to Sampdoria.
