Will Wenger cap off his time in north London with a win? There will be a packed out Emirates hoping he can.

Odds…
Arsenal: 1/2
Burnley: 27/4
Draw: 4/1
Chelsea 0-0 Liverpool
3: Trent Alexander-Arnold plays a clever ball into the left channel to find Roberto Firmino who stings Thibaut Courtois' hands with a first time effort. Smart run and a good save.
Arsenal 0-0 Burnley
3: Arsenal have started on the front foot with Jack Wilshere looking very lively. Alexandre Lacazette makes use of Alex Iwobi's weaving run in the box and receives the ball in the crowded penalty area. He tries to turn but Burnley get bodies in the way and clear the danger.
Arsenal 0-0 Burnley
8: Alexandre Lacazette and Henrikh Mkhitaryan combine on the edge of the area to set up a shooting chance for Alex Iwobi, he doesn't connect with his effort and hits a tame effort at goal.
Chelsea 0-0 Liverpool
10: How's he got away with that?
Eden Hazard wriggles his way through a couple of challenges then is clattered by James Milner who slides in late on the Chelsea player. The referee, Anthony Taylor, has a word with the Liverpool midfielder and doesn't show a yellow card, much to the surprise of everyone in Stamford Bridge.
Arsenal 1-0 Burnley
Pierre-Emerick Aubemeyang scores!
Arsene Wenger celebrates with his trademark low fist-pump.
Alexandre Lacazette sneaks into the box and receives Alex Iwobi's pass that takes him to the byline. From a tight angle, he fires a low cross into the middle and Aubemeyang times his run well to tap into an empty net.
Arsenal 1-0 Burnley

Chelsea 0-0 Liverpool
18: What a tackle!
Liverpool steal the ball with Chelsea committing players high up the pitch. Sadio Mane crosses the halfway line and is running at Gary Cahill, but to the defence's rescue is N'Golo Kante who makes a great sliding recovery tackle to win back possession.
Arsenal 1-0 Burnley
19: Concern at the Emirates as Granit Xhaka and Ashley Barnes are both flat on the ground after challenging for a loose pass. The Arsenal man appears to be holding his shoulder while Barnes may have taken a knock to his head.
