The Clarets have made two changes to the team that lost at Everton with Dwight McNeil and Jeff Hendrick restored to the team in place of Johann Berg Gudmundsson and Robbie Brady who both drop to the bench. The Clarets are 15th in the table and could climb above Newcastle United if they collect three points against the Gunners and the Magpies lose. Sean Dyche's side have enjoyed a superb second half of the campaign to ensure a fourth straight season of top flight football. But the Clarets have lost their last two games, to Manchester City and Everton. Arsenal arrive at Turf Moor having reached the Europa League final following a win over Valencia in midweek. Unai Emery's side face Chelsea in the final and, with the Gunners' chances of reaching the Champions League through a top four finish all but over, Arsenal know a win in that tie in Azerbaijan is their best chance of playing in Europe's elite competition. Burnley team: Tom Heaton, Matt Lowton, James Tarkowski, Ben Mee, Charlie Taylor; Jeff Hendrick, Ashley Westwood, Jack Cork, Dwight McNeil, Ashley Barnes, Chris Wood.<doc-sep>Burnley vs Arsenal: TV channel, live stream, squad news & preview A victory at Turf Moor would finally seal a Champions League spot for the Gunners next season Arsenal will seal a place in next season’s Champions League if they can win at Burnley on the final weekend of the 2018-19 Premier League season. Lying fifth in the standings, the Gunners only need to maintain their position in order to return to Europe’s top competition, which will be won by either Liverpool or Tottenham. Even if they were to lose the spot to Manchester United, having reached the Europa League final against Chelsea, they would have another shot at securing their spot among the continent’s elite. Can the Gunners get over the line on Sunday, though?

Match Preview Arsenal will arrive in Burnley for their final Premier League match of the season on a high after securing their place in the Europa League final with a thumping 4-2 success away against Valencia , which gave them a 7-3 win on aggregate. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette were the heroes of the tie for the Gunners, with the pair grabbing all the goals between them. There is, however, still work for the Emirates side to do if they are to reach the Champions League next season – their goal at the outset of the campaign. Unai Emery’s side have squandered numerous chances to cement themselves in the top four of the Premier League but have two more opportunities in the coming weeks, with the first arriving at Turf Moor. With Liverpool and Tottenham comprising the Champions League final, the Gunners will be in the competition next season if they finish fifth or go on to win the Europa League. Domestically, their form has been wretched. They are winless in four and were held to a 1-1 draw with Brighton at home last weekend , their first point after three successive defeats. “We know in the Premier League we’ve played really badly in the last month,” Lacazette admitted after the midweek victory. Moreover, they have been notoriously poor away from home, winning just six of their 18 road trips to date. Burnley will be eager to finish what has been a long season on a high. Having kicked off in the Europa League back in July, manager Sean Dyche is pleased with comfortable survival. Article continues below “I’m proud of these players and what they’ve achieved this year,” he said of his players. “The club is in a super-strong position financially and it’s about how much we can stretch that now and improve it. “The fans have been terrific this year. Even when things weren’t going well, they were there and I think they get the business model and understand the club. This team gives everything, and the fans have had their rewards.” Dyche will want to give the supporters one more “reward” before the summer break while the Gunners are looking to profit from their first of two chances to seal a Champions League return.<doc-sep>Burnley secured their Premier League safety a few weeks ago, so this match is just about trying to finish on as many points as possible. They will finish somewhere between 14th and 16th, so there won’t be a lot of movement for them on the final day, regardless of their result. While they haven’t had as good a season as they would have liked, they could still finish it off with a great result against Arsenal. Arsenal saw their league season end last week with their disappointing draw against Brighton. Outside of an incredible goal difference swing, the Gunners will be finishing outside of the top four for the third consecutive season. With that in mind, they will likely play a weakened team. Combine that with their atrocious away form and it will be a very tough match for them. Team News Burnley will be without Robbie Brady, Phil Bardsley, Steven Defour and Aaron Lennon through injury, according to Physioroom.com. On the other side, the Gunners will be without Hector Bellerin, Rob Holding, Danny Welbeck, Dennis Suarez and Aaron Ramsey through various injuries, according to Physioroom.com. Key Players Burnley: Chris Wood The Clarets have struggled to score goals this season, but Arsenal’s leaky defence has proved to be a great tonic to weak attacks this season. Wood has been one of Burnley’s top goalscorers and he has the ability to exploit Arsenal’s defensive issues. He already reached 10 goals for the season and could grab a few more in this dead rubber. Arsenal: Shkodran Mustafi Arsenal’s lineup for Sunday is completely up in the air. That said, if Mustafi plays he will likely have a big influence in the match. Whether that influence is positive or negative for Arsenal remains to be seen. The German keeps very busy in every match he plays, making a lot of clearances and tackles. When he doesn’t make a catastrophic mistake, he can be pretty good. His issue is that he makes those mistakes with disturbing regularity. Prediction Burnley are a good home side and Arsenal are a very poor away side. Combine that with the fact that this match means nothing to Arsenal and a Burnley win seems likely. Prediction: 2-1 Burnley<doc-sep>Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck could be included in Unai Emery’s starting XI at Burnley, ahead of his summer departure from the club. The 28-year-old star has been sidelined with an ankle injury since November, having picked up the issue during a Europa League draw against Sporting Lisbon. The crocked star has watched on from behind the scenes as the Gunners have completed the 2018-19 campaign and he will leave Emirates Stadium at the end of the season after the club decided against offering him a new deal. However, Metro Sport reports that Welbeck is in line for a farewell appearance against Burnley on Sunday, after finally making his return to full training. The Englishman joined Arsenal from Manchester United in 2014 and has since managed to rack up over 100 appearances for the club, scoring 32 goals. Unfortunately for Welbeck, he has never quite managed to fully establish himself as the club’s main striker and with Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang leading the line now, he has been deemed surplus to requirements. That being said, it is a testament to his determination and iron will that he has managed to get himself back to full fitness so quickly, having initially been expected to be out of action until the middle of the year. Emery made sure Welbeck was included in Arsenal’s Europa League squad back in February and he could yet play a part in the final of the competition against Chelsea in Baku on May 29, but if not, he has the chance to say goodbye at Turf Moor. The Gunners still have a faint chance of qualifying for next season’s Champions League by winning their final domestic match and it would be a fitting way for Welbeck to end his Emirates career if he were to contribute a goal or two. It remains to be seen where the one-time England international ends up plying his trade later in the year, but he deserves praise for his loyalty and effort at Arsenal during a testing period for the club.<doc-sep>
Arsenal Team News: Injuries, suspensions and line-up vs Burnley Everything you need to know ahead of the Premier League clash at Turf Moor on Sunday Arsenal complete their Premier League season on Sunday when they take on Burnley at Turf Moor. Although mathematically the Gunners still have a chance of finishing in the top four, it would take a remarkable mix of results for Unai Emery's side to move above Tottenham into the Champions League places. The Gunners would need to win at Turf Moor while Spurs would need to lose at home to Everton. There would also need to be an eight-goal swing in terms of goal difference. So realistically Sunday's game is about Arsenal ensuring they finish fifth, something they would do with victory in Lancashire. Arsenal Injuries Sead Kolasinac and Ainsley Maitland-Niles are doubts for Arsenal after picking up knocks during Thursday night's Europa League semi-final win in Valencia. Kolasinac was replaced during the second half in Spain and although Maitland-Niles finished the game, the defender limped away from the stadium with a suspected ankle problem. Aaron Ramsey is out with a hamstring injury and all three long-term absentees, Rob Holding (knee), Danny Welbeck (ankle) and Hector Bellerin (knee) remain sidelined. Arsenal Suspensions Arsenal do not have anyone banned for the game. Arsenal Potential Starting Line-Up Unai Emery will certainly make changes to his side given the energy-sapping win in Spain on Thursday night. It is likely that one of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette will be handed a rest, potentially the latter as Aubameyang still has a chance of the golden boot. Alex Iwobi and Henrikh Mkhitaryan could come into the front line, with Matteo Guendouzi is expected to start in midfield. At the back, Shkodran Mustafi may replace Laurent Koscielny, while Stephan Lichtsteiner could come in at right-back. Article continues below Bernd Leno will return after Petr Cech started against Valencia in the Europa League. Burnley Team News Defender Phil Bardsley could return for the Clarets after missing the last five games. Boss Sean Dyche has said he might make some changes, but Ben Mee is expected to start. If Mee completes the game he will have played every single minute of the Premier League season. Opta Match Facts Burnley have lost their last nine meetings with Arsenal in all competitions – only against Wolves have they ever lost more consecutively (11 between 1987-2002). Arsenal have won their last three Premier League away games against Burnley, all by a 1-0 scoreline. In the last two campaigns, they’ve scored a 90th minute winner at Turf Moor. Burnley have lost their last two Premier League games on the closing day of the season, losing 1-2 against West Ham and Bournemouth despite taking the lead both times. Arsenal haven’t lost on the final day of a Premier League season since 2004-05 (1-2 vs Birmingham), winning each of the last seven in a row. There have been 13 hat-tricks scored on the closing day of a Premier League season, with 31% of these being netted by Arsenal players – Freddie Ljungberg in 2002-03, Thierry Henry in 2005-06, Theo Walcott in 2014-15 and Olivier Giroud in 2015-16. Burnley are 15th in the table – the average position of opponents at the start of the day for Arsenal’s six Premier League away wins this season is 15th. Arsenal have only kept one clean sheet away from home in the Premier League this season – the last time they only kept one clean sheet on the road in a top-flight campaign was back in 1967-68 under manager Bertie Mee. Arsenal are winless in their last four Premier League games (D1 L3). They last went five without a win in a single season back in February 2009. Arsenal’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has scored four goals in his two Premier League games against Burnley, though both of these matches have been at the Emirates. Burnley striker Peter Crouch has scored on the final day of six separate Premier League seasons, including each of the last two – only Andrew Cole (8) and Les Ferdinand and Teddy Sheringham (7) have done so more often.
