The Title Picture: What Arsenal Need
Victory for Mikel Arteta’s side could prove to be a title-clinching one if Bournemouth do them a favour 24 hours later when they face Manchester City on Tuesday night. Arsenal lead City by two points heading into Matchday 37 — win on Monday and let Bournemouth do the rest.
Fears of a late collapse emerged when Arsenal won just one of six fixtures between March 22 and April 19, but they have since earned four victories from their last five, keeping three successive clean sheets.
Why Burnley Should Pose No Threat
Burnley have not kept a single clean sheet on the road all season, conceding 45 goals in their 18 away matches — by far the worst defensive record on the road in the Premier League. Arsenal have won 10 of 10 such matches against already-relegated sides since 1992.
Burnley have never scored more than one goal in a Premier League match against Arsenal, and have suffered just one Arsenal defeat across their last 19 top-flight meetings.
Team News & Key Absences
Arsenal suffered a major blow as Ben White sustained a season-ending knee injury against West Ham, while Riccardo Calafiori is unlikely to be risked. Jurrien Timber (groin) and Mikel Merino (foot) are also ruled out.
For Burnley, Jordan Beyer (hamstring) and Josh Cullen (knee) are confirmed absentees, while Hannibal Mejbri is expected to recover in time to feature.
Predicted Lineups
Arsenal: Raya; Mosquera, Saliba, Gabriel, Hincapie; Rice, Lewis-Skelly; Saka, Odegaard, Trossard; Gyokeres.
Burnley: Dubravka; Walker, Tuanzebe, Esteve, Pires; Ugochukwu, Florentino; Tchaouna, Hannibal, Anthony; Flemming. sportsmole
