Burnley v Arsenal: match preview

Burnley v Arsenal
Burnley v Arsenal: probable starters in bold, contenders in light

Arsenal will be glad to see the back of their league campaign after a terrible run of one point from a possible 12 means they have to beat Chelsea in the Europa League final to qualify for the Champions League. If Baku is a bust then a win against Burnley would be useful to avoid the possibility of entering Europe’s secondary competition at the preliminary stages. Sean Dyche will be delighted at the thought of compounding Arsenal’s away-day woes and drawing an inconsistent season to a close on a positive note. Graham Searles
