ARSENAL host Burnley today in the Premier League as they look to continue their push for a Champions League spot.
The Gunners have not played a Premier League fixture since New Year’s Day after controversially cancelling their game at Tottenham last weekend.
But they had a disappointing return to action on Thursday, when they were beaten 2-0 at home by Liverpool in the Carabao Cup semi-final.
Visitors Burnley meanwhile are embroiled in a struggle against relegation and have been at the centre of cancellation controversy themselves.
The Clarets have only played 17 Premier League matches so far and have had games against Leicester and Watford postponed in the past week.
