Tottenham require a point to secure second place and finish above Arsenal for the first time since the 1994-95 season. Rafael Benítez, though, wants to extend already relegated Newcastle’s five-game unbeaten run on an afternoon when home fans are planning to serenade the Spaniard in the hope of persuading him to stick around next season and lead them out of the second tier. Tyneside’s Evening Chronicle devoted Friday’s front page to imploring Benítez to stay but some fear Everton might steal him. Louise Taylor
