Arsenal vs Burnley Predicted Lineups May 2026 – Arsenal’s final home match of the season is guaranteed to deliver high tension.

It is not only about securing three points, but also a major opportunity for The Gunners to seal the 2025/2026 Premier League title if results elsewhere go in their favor.

This match is scheduled to take place at Emirates Stadium on Monday, May 18, 2026, at 20.00 PM local time.

A victory for Mikel Arteta’s side could become a title-deciding moment if Bournemouth help them 24 hours later, while Burnley are only trying to avoid finishing at the bottom of the table.

Before this match begins, let us take a look at Mansion Sports’ prediction for Arsenal vs Burnley predicted lineups in May 2026 below.

Team Conditions Ahead of the Match

Arsenal

“After review, West Ham number 19 committed a foul on the goalkeeper. Final decision: direct free kick.” Those words have the potential to be remembered in Arsenal history.

No one envied on-field referee Chris Kavanagh and VAR official Darren England at London Stadium last weekend, when in the closing moments of West Ham United vs Arsenal, both made a decision with major consequences for both the Premier League title race and the relegation battle.

In the end, the crucial decision favored Arsenal, as West Ham forward Pablo was judged to have fouled David Raya—who was also having his shirt pulled by Jean-Clair Todibo—during a chaotic corner situation, resulting in Callum Wilson’s dramatic equalizer being disallowed.

Arsenal supporters celebrated Kavanagh’s announcement almost as loudly as they had celebrated Leandro Trossard’s goal moments earlier, as The Gunners successfully overcame what was arguably their toughest remaining test in the Premier League title race before hosting Burnley and facing Crystal Palace on the final weekend.

Manchester City’s dominant victory over Crystal Palace at least maintained the gap at the top of the table at two points, but if Arsenal defeat Burnley and Pep Guardiola’s side fail to win against Bournemouth on Tuesday night, Arsenal’s 22-year wait for a league title will officially come to an end.

Concerns about another collapse briefly resurfaced when Arsenal managed just one win from six matches between March 22 and April 19, but the hosts have now collected four wins from their last five matches, including three consecutive victories without conceding.

In addition, against teams already relegated from the Premier League, Arsenal hold a perfect record of 10 wins from 10 matches since 1992.

Burnley

Burnley could certainly set a unique Premier League record if they manage a major upset in North London, but their form this season has been far from convincing.

Only Wolverhampton Wanderers have collected fewer away points than Burnley this season, with Burnley managing only nine points away from home. The visitors also have the worst away defensive record in the Premier League after conceding 45 goals from 18 away matches.

It is therefore unsurprising that Burnley have not kept a single away clean sheet all season, although Mike Jackson’s team at least ended a five-match losing streak after drawing 2-2 against Aston Villa last week.

Coincidentally, Burnley will face Wolves on the final day in a direct battle to avoid finishing bottom of the table, although they could already secure 19th place if they avoid defeat at the Emirates and Wolves lose to Fulham.

However, that scenario appears difficult because Arsenal have lost only once in their last 19 league meetings with Burnley, who have never scored more than one goal in a single Premier League match against Arsenal.

Arsenal vs Burnley Predicted Lineups May 2026

Arsenal (4-2-3-1)

For the home squad condition, Arsenal’s important victory over West Ham came at a significant defensive cost.

Ben White suffered a knee injury that has ended his season and could even threaten his chances of appearing at the World Cup, while Riccardo Calafiori was substituted at halftime due to an undisclosed issue.

Arteta remains optimistic that Calafiori has not suffered a serious injury, but he is still unlikely to feature. Jurrien Timber (groin) and Mikel Merino (foot) also remain unavailable.

Declan Rice’s brief experiment at right-back did not work well against West Ham, so Cristhian Mosquera is predicted to replace Ben White. Martin Odegaard is also likely to return to the starting lineup after providing the assist for Trossard’s winning goal last week.

Burnley (4-2-3-1)

For the away squad condition, Burnley also did not escape matchday 36 without issues after Hannibal Mejbri was forced off in the 69th minute due to an undisclosed injury. However, according to Mike Jackson, the player has recovered well and could still feature.

Senior right-back Connor Roberts is also getting closer to returning after missing more than a year with an Achilles injury, although Jordan Beyer (hamstring) and Josh Cullen (knee) remain unavailable.

Burnley’s second goalscorer in the draw against Aston Villa, Zian Flemming, has now collected 10 Premier League goals this season and becomes the fifth Burnley player to reach double figures in a single Premier League campaign.

This match has the potential to become one of the most decisive fixtures of the season, especially for Arsenal as they chase the league trophy.

With high motivation and full support at Emirates Stadium, this duel is worth anticipating until the final minute. Therefore, keep following the latest updates regarding Arsenal vs Burnley predicted lineups in May 2026 before kick-off begins.
