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
Arsenal 2-0 Burnley
49: Burnley almost hit back.
Johann Gudmundsson stands a cross up to Sam Vokes in the middle and the forward heads it straight into Petr Cech's hands. That was a chance to start a comeback, either side of the goalkeeper and it's in.
Arsenal 3-0 Burnley
After some really nice build up play Sead Kolasinac takes Jack Wilshere's pass in his stride and fires a low shot across the goalkeeper and into the bottom corner. Arsenal's build up play and ability to recycle possession there was brilliant.
Chelsea 1-0 Liverpool
57: Chelsea have the ball in the back of the net but the flag is up. From a corner, Gary Cahill heads the ball into the six yard box where Antonio Rudiger taps in but from an offside position. The defender wheels away celebrating but the linesman correctly raises his flag for offside.
Chelsea 1-0 Liverpool
64: Mohamed Salah is having a curiously quiet afternoon and is dropping deeper and deeper in an attempt to get involved. He's had just 22 touches, the lowest of any player that started. We all know he just needs one moment to change a game, so watch this space.
Arsenal 4-0 Burnley
Alex Iwobi
64: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who has had an excellent game, cuts inside from the left wing and lays the ball to Alex Iwobi who slams the ball high into the top corner. What a strike, and what a performance this is turning out to be.
Arsenal 4-0 Burnley
67: Arsenal are playing some really good stuff in the final third and Burnley, who have made some great attacking sides look fairly ordinary, have had no answer to them. Arsenal very much deserve their four goal lead in Arsene Wenger's final home game in charge of Arsenal.
Arsenal 5-0 Burnley
Arsenal are running riot and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has scored again! Hector Bellerin, who like many in red is having a good game, cuts the ball back to Aubameyang who fires in. Arsenal are in complete control and you sense they are not done yet.
