Burnley will host Arsenal in a matchup of teams with different expectations. Arsenal is fresh off of a 4-1 victory over Liverpool on April 4th, 2015 and has high hopes for a run at an English Premier League title run. Burnley, on the other hand, looks to stay in the English Premier League in 2015-2016, but drew with European hopefuls Tottenham 0-0 on Sunday April 5th, 2015. Arsenal defeated Burnley 3-0 in their first fixture of the year on November 1st, 2014 in London.

Arsenal has earned 30 points in the English Premier League since the beginning of 2015 and their 10-0-2 record has moved them all the way to 2nd in the English Premier League. Arsenal has scored two or more goals in each of 2015 except three; those are the three losses for Arsenal in 2015: 2-0 against Southampton on January 1st, 2015; 2-1 against Tottenham on February 7th, 2015; and 3-1 against Monaco in the Champions League on February 25th, 2015. Arsenal fell out pf form for that game against Monaco, but the Champions League is the only competition of 2015 that Arsenal has fallen out of, as they are also in the FA Cup semifinals as well in the English Premier League title race. Arsenal will play Reading in the semifinals on April 18th, 2015 at Wembley Stadium in London.

Burnley looks to secure their spot in the English Premier League for the 2015-2016 season. They are in the relegation zone, 19th with only 26 points, and a win move them to 16th place, inching them closer to playing another season of top flight football. Arsenal has to worry, since Burnley has earned five points in their last five games against teams looking towards Europe, drawing against Chelsea 1-1 on February 21th, 2015 and Tottenham in the previous game and beating Manchester City 1-0 on March 14th, 2015.
