Kieran Gibbs says Arsenal's rollercoaster season has brought the squad together.
Arsenal go to Newcastle United needing to win to secure a top four finish.
England fullback Gibbs told arsenal.com: "The way the squad has stuck together this season and never given up is credit to them and I believe we deserve nothing more than to be where we want to be.
"It is a test we have passed this season and that is credit to the players because it is not easy, especially for those who have come in. It must have been a shock to their systems but they have shown what characters they are."
