In what will be boss Arsene Wenger's final-ever match in charge at the Emirates Stadium, the occasion will be emotionally charged. Despite having clashed with club executives over his departure, Arsenal have planned a touching tribute to Wenger to take place before and after the match on Sunday.
Although the Frenchman's decision to leave will likely overshadow the match itself, the North London club have not yet mathematically guaranteed their position in the Premier League, and therefore have not secured a spot in European football yet for next season.
For Burnley to leapfrog Arsenal in the table, they would have to win against Wenger's side and Bournemouth, meanwhile Arsenal would have to lose to the 'Clarets', Leicester City and Huddersfield to fall behind Burnley.
Should worst come to worst, the 'Gunners' would be forced to withdraw from their Singapore tour and likely a match against Chelsea in Stockholm in order to compete in the second qualifying round of the Europa League on 26th July and 2nd August.
However, ahead of Sunday's fixture, all eyes will be on outgoing manager Wenger who decided to end his 22-year tenure at the club. The 68-year-old will address supporters in the programme notes for the match.
He writes: ''What I will miss most about this job is the competition itself. The collective feeling, the sharing of emotions with people you work with on a daily basis, the desire to feel something together and the target you always have in front of you.''
''I will miss the intensity of it all, because that's all I have known in my life. I'd say what has linked all my teams through the years is the desire to play as a connected team, at a high place, and to make the players reach a complex form of collective football.''
''That means involving at least three players every move, to express your talent, and make people feel that when football is expressed in a collective way and with a high understanding, it's art.''
