Arsenal welcome Championship-bound Burnley to the Emirates Stadium on Monday night, looking to close in on the Premier League title.
Three points tonight would leave the Gunners needing Manchester City to drop points on Tuesday to be crowned champions. The hosts arrive in a confident mood after reaching the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain, and remain heavy favourites to extend their remarkable 44-game unbeaten home run against newly promoted sides.
Arsenal Team News
Right back Ben White is ruled out for the remainder of the season after sustaining a serious knee injury against West Ham, with Cristhian Mosquera the favourite to deputise. Riccardo Calafiori is also a slight doubt after picking up a knock last Sunday, with Piero Hincapié on standby should the Italian fail to prove his fitness ahead of kick-off.
In midfield, teenager Myles Lewis-Skelly could retain his place alongside Declan Rice after a series of impressive displays. Club captain Martin Ødegaard returns to the starting eleven at the expense of Eberechi Eze, having come off the bench to provide the assist for Leandro Trossard’s winner against West Ham.
Up front, Viktor Gyökeres leads the line chasing his 15th league goal of the campaign. The Swedish striker has scored nine of his 14 Premier League goals at the Emirates this season. Arsenal have also won all ten of their league fixtures against already-relegated sides this term — a record they will look to extend tonight.
Arsenal predicted lineup
Possible Arsenal starting XI: Raya; Mosquera, Saliba, Gabriel, Hincapie; Rice, Lewis-Skelly; Saka, Odegaard, Trossard; Gyokeres.
