Arsene Wenger will step out at the Emirates for the final time on Sunday as his Arsenal side face Burnley in the Frenchman’s last home game.

The club have special celebrations planned to mark the end of 22 years in charge of the Gunners at the end of the game but there is still work to be done to avoid Burnley leapfrogging them into seventh in the league.

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

Chelsea 1-0 Liverpool

84: Liverpool are really pushing for an equaliser and Chelsea are showing some signs of fragility. Jordan Henderson's curling cross is touched by Cesar Azpilicueta who is facing his own goal and forces tests his goalkeeper's reactions.

Chelsea 1-0 Liverpool

87: Eden Hazard is coming off after another superb shift in a Chelsea shirt. He has been a real handful for the Liverpool defenders who have struggled to keep tabs on him.

Arsenal 5-0 Burnley

87: Per Mertesacker, while playing in defence, is certainly not holding back when there's a chance for him to get forward. Could he get a goal to cap off a perfect farewell party?

Arsenal 5-0 Burnley

88: Post!

Danny Welbeck lets Henrikh Mkhitaryan's lay off run across him then blasts the ball from around 30 yards onto the post. What a goal that would have been.

The end of an era

Chelsea's fight for challenge for the top four is not over yet

Five goals and a five star performance 

As farewells go, it surely can't get much better than that.

Goals from Alexandre Lacazette, Sead Kolasinac, Alex Iwobi and a brace from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang round off a fine display in Arsene Wenger's final match as Arsenal manager.

'One Arsene Wenger' echoed around the Emirates before, during and continues after the final whistle.

Celebrations

Giant banners reading 'Merci Arsene' have been brought onto the Emirates pitch, and letters spelling the same message have been displayed on the pitch.
