Unai Emery could end his first season at Arsenal with silverware
But a testing trip to Burnley awaits on the final day of the Premier League season on Sunday, with Emery’s side expected to finish fifth. It would take an unlikely eight-goal swing for Arsenal to overtake fourth-placed Tottenham.
Emery told the club’s website: “We arrived home at 6am (on Friday) and we cancelled training because it’s important to rest.
“On Saturday, we are going to prepare for Sunday’s match but I am going to decide with the players who are hungry and in good physical condition to play this match.”

The Gunners secured a 3-1 win over Burnley at the Emirates in December thanks to a Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang double.
But Emery is expecting a tough test from the Clarets, who drew 2-2 with Arsenal’s Europa League final opponents Chelsea last month.
He added: “We struggled a lot here against Burnley. I remember this match and I watched it two weeks ago when they drew with Chelsea.

The tax cuts added roughly $1.5 trillion to the federal debt over the next decade, not accounting for economic growth. The report suggests that the lower tax rates have increased business investment in ways that will make the economy more productive, while also creating a surge in people coming off the sidelines to search for work.
