It has been awhile since Arsenal and Manchester City were level on total Premier League matches played, but here we are! 36 matches down, and only two more to go. Arsenal obviously and clearly have the upper hand, but the margin remains very thin. Arsenal host second-to-last place, and already relegated Burnley FC on Monday night.

Manchester City Team News at Burnley: Ruben Dias, Josko Gvardiol
