How do you solve a problem like Arsenal? They can win at Napoli and Valencia but lose to Southampton and West Ham United. Their dreadful away form in the Premier League looks to have almost certainly cost them a top-four finish. They find themselves fifth in the table, three points behind Tottenham but with a goal difference that is eight worse than their rivals who are home to Everton on Sunday. Those heavy defeats at Liverpool, Manchester City, Wolves and Leicester are responsible for the inferior goal difference. At least the Gunners are in the Europa League final so can still get into the Champions League by winning that. Arsenal have lost six of their last nine league games with only two wins in the last 12. It'll be interesting to see how Arsenal approach this game, do they go for goals or just accept their fate, especially If Tottenham aren't losing.

Burnley have had an up and down season after their terrible start left them bottom of the Premier League. They have fought back well and start this final match in 15th place. A win over Arsenal and defeat for Newcastle at Fulham would see them finished their troubled season in 14th place. A form guide for the last 20 league games has them in 12th place and with only five points less than their opponents. They have only one point from their last three league games and at home have won two and lost three of their last five, so little sign of consistency. Only five sides in the league have scored less home goals than Burnley  This is difficult to predict as it could just develop into a meaningless end-of-season game if Tottenham are doing well, go for under 2.5 goals as your bet.
