Burnley vs Arsenal Predictions: Arsenal line-up

Arsenal are high on confidence after an outstanding performance in the semifinals of the Europa League on Thursday. The Gunners ran riot against Valencia with a 4-2 victory on the night to book a place in the final of the competition.

Unai Emery’s side now return to Premier League action with a trip to Turf Moor to face Burnley. Arsenal will need a miracle to get into the top four but after what happened in the Champions League this week, anything seems possible.

Long-term absentees Hector Bellerin, Rob Holding, Danny Welbeck, Aaron Ramsey and Denis Suarez are all ruled out.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles returns to the squad after serving his suspension last weekend, while Sead Kolasinac is expected to be fit after hobbling off on Thursday.
