There is always an element of jeopardy when facing a modicum of talent with absolutely nothing to loose and a chance to make a name, and then there is the refs, with that disturbing West Ham game audio , but surely, we’ve got this one?
I’m en route to London and the Emirates as I write this. Comprehensive victory should be the expectation. But a win is good enough. I am relaxed. If we can’t beat Burnley at home when the Title is there for us, we don’t deserve to be Champions. Victory is not optional. We will get the job done.
I am seeing a lot of fans being nervous. But I can't see anything but a home win.
I have seen Burnley play and they aren't good. The only issue is the mental side of our players. Be calm and play football and we destroy them. Make this a big occasion and start forcing things and that is where it becomes sticky.
As far as I know, the line up for that PSG game isn't complicated. Mosquera or Timber (if he is fit), Odegaard or Eze, Calafiori or Hincapie, are the only positions not decided at the moment. And they are all like for like.
These stupid experiments aren't needed. Do what makes sense, keep it simple. You don't experiment when you have a league title to win and you have a working formula. Zubi is out of form. Keep him on the bench. He can go again next season.
My only nervousness at present is if things come down to the final match somehow.a little suspicious of glasner & his attitude & line up for that game.got a suspicion it won’t be straight forward by any stretch.lets hope it doesn’t come to it.
Hope the ruthless Arsenal turns up today, just like the one for Fulham. Win big today and the boys will be full of confidence going into the CP and CL final game. If it's nervy like WH game, the effects will go into the last 2 games. Good thing we're playing first.
One thing, the manager and players can't take Burnley on easy even if they don't have anything to play for - they'll take this as free hit and be bold.
MLS needs to stay in the team ,he is like a new player,did you see how Arteta hugged him after the win at West Ham. (a month ago it was rumoured he was being sold in the Summer and Nwaneri also).
Mixed metaphors in this Post .If it was unfortunately to come down to goal difference our scoring isn't great recently bar the Fulham game so I wouldn't fancy it.
Obviously the CL Final is very much on Arteta's mind but one game at a time and hope for a win tonight regardless of the score.
What about Eze and Odegaard either side of Rice?

Jose to take charge of Madrid 13 years on from his last appointment. Who’d a thunk it.
Don’t know how the eye gouger does it.
Everyone stay calm. Let's not transfer anxiety to the guys. The team will cross the finish line, let’s show excitement instead of nerves.
This is gonna be the best summer for Arsenal fans in two decades.
We need to start well and score early to avoid drama. Against Wham we didn't convert the early chances and then the drama started.
I'm feeling supremely confident about tonight.
If we can't beat a relegated Burnley at home in the penultimate game of the season, we have no business talking about being champions of anything.
Routine 2-0. COYG.
Pedro
You’re breaking news if you think Mosquera lacks the deftness and concentration as right back
I mean you’ve caught the Arteta bug of grossly overthinking. This is like Pep refusing to play a defensive mid in a champions league final.
Mosquera is the BEST right back we have in this club right now because Timber and BW are not available.
It’s that simple.
Worrying about tonight already

Raya, Mosquera, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori, Rice, MLS, Eze/Odegaard, Saka, Trossard, Gyokeres.
Simple.
