1st plays 19th in the Monday night Premier League match as Arsenal take on Burnley at the Emirates.

Kick-off is at 20:00 BST.

TEAM NEWS

Mikel Arteta makes three changes for this evening’s game, including a noteworthy one in attack.

Kai Havertz leads the line, meaning that Viktor Gyokeres drops to the bench.

The Swedish striker was the most-bought player of Gameweek 36, attracting over 430,000 transfers in.

Martin Odegaard also gets a recall – but not for Eberechi Eze. Instead, it’s Myles Lewis-Skelly who makes way as Arteta sends out an attacking-looking team.

The other alteration is an enforced one at right-back as Ben White is out with a knee injury.

Cristhian Mosquera takes his place.

Riccardo Calafiori is fit enough to retain his spot at left-back.

Mike Jackson, interim boss of Championship-bound Burnley, goes with the same starting XI that managed a 2-2 draw with Aston Villa in Gameweek 36.

LINE-UPS

Arsenal XI: Raya, Calafiori, Gabriel, Saliba, Mosquera, Odegaard, Rice, Trossard, Eze, Saka, Havertz.

Subs: Arrizabalaga, Hincapie, Lewis-Skelly, Zubimendi, Dowman, Martinelli, Madueke, Jesus, Gyokeres.

Burnley XI: Weiss, Pires, Esteve, Tuanzebe, Walker, Ugochukwe, Florentino, Anthony, Mejbri, Tchaouna, Flemming.

Subs: Dubravka, Hartman, Humphreys, Worrall, Ward-Prowse, Laurent, Bruun Larsen, Amdouni, Edwards.

      Embarrassing. Depended most of the season on a set piece then defend for their lives! The new athletico Madrid has arrived

    Trossard cap went well then.

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      5 hours, 45 mins ago

      No it didn’t.

  15. Gizzachance

    Rogers to tross went well !

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      5 hours, 45 mins ago

      Sorry, but it didn’t go well at all.

  16. SM001

    Raya broken bum

  17. fusen
    • 14 Years
    5 hours, 46 mins ago

    Went Trossard even though the obvious safe route was just getting a second defender.

    Never expect Arsenal to actually score goals I think is the lesson.

    The Palace game will be another tense 1-0 win

    Yellow card? ๐Ÿ˜€ ๐Ÿ˜€

    Embarrassing diving by arsenal players. raya.. fake injury, saka fake head injury when nowhere near his head... shameful

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      5 hours, 44 mins ago

      Raya took quite a hit

    2. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 hours, 44 mins ago

      Saka's was an awful dive. Raya at least got a proper hit from Flemming.

  20. Magic Zico

    If BUR could score now that would be massive ๐Ÿ˜›

  21. SM001

    Baller ball control from Martinelli.

  22. Sir Michael Taker
    • 11 Years
    5 hours, 44 mins ago

    Is that around 6 projected goals vs Burnley from the two fixtures (Arsenal & City) and 2 goals scored. They arent that bad and the other two arent that good

    1. Sir Michael Taker
      • 11 Years
      5 hours, 41 mins ago

      This isnt just about those two fixtures. Burnley haven't really been battered many times and Arsenal / City have not handed out many batterings over the 37 games. Maybe a handful of examples of each over the season

  23. JBG

          • 9 Years
