Mikel Arteta has tweaked his line-up for the first time in four games for tonight’s Premier League game against Burnley, opting to make three changes.
Arsenal Line-Up Changes
One of the changes is enforced, with Cristhian Mosquera filling in for Ben White at right-back. White picked up a season-ending knee injury in the 1-0 win against West Ham United.
Martin Odegaard has been recalled after his influence off the bench in that game. Kai Havertz has also been handed a start with Myles Lewis-Skelly and Viktor Gyokeres dropping to the bench.
Arsenal: Raya, Mosquera, Gabriel, Saliba, Calafiori, Rice, Odegaard, Eze, Saka, Trossard, Havertz. Subs: Arrizabalaga, Hincapie, Lewis-Skelly, Zubimendi, Martinelli, Madueke, Dowman, Gyokeres, Jesus.
Burnley’s Unchanged Side
Caretaker Clarets boss Mike Jackson has made no alterations to his side that drew 2-2 at home to Aston Villa eight days ago, despite their relegation from the top-flight being confirmed weeks ago.
21-year-old goalkeeper Max Weiss made his league debut in that game and continues between the posts ahead of the experienced Martin Dubravka.
Burnley: Weiss, Walker, Tuanzebe, Esteve, Pires, Ugochukwu, Florentino, Tchaouna, Hannibal, Anthony, Flemming. Subs: Dubravka, Hartman, Humphreys, Worrall, Ward-Prowse, Laurent, Bruun Larsen, Amdouni, Edwards.
Implications for the Title Race
A victory for Arsenal tonight would give Manchester City no room for error in the title race. Even if they win their game in hand against Bournemouth tomorrow, Arsenal could clinch the championship with a win at Crystal Palace on the final day, should they also claim three points this evening.
