Mikel Arteta has been forced to tweak his line-up for the first time in four games for tonight\u2019s Premier League game against Burnley, but has opted to make two three changes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of those is enforced, with Cristhian Mosquera filling in for Ben White at right-back who picked up a season-ending knee injury in our 1-0 win against West Ham United in our last encounter.<\/p>\n

Skipper Martin Odegaard\u2019s influence off the bench in that game has seen him recalled, while Kai Havertz has also been handed a start with Myles Lewis-Skelly and Viktor Gyokeres dropping to the bench.<\/p>\n

A victory for us tonight would give Manchester City no room for error in the title race, and even if they win their game in hand against Bournemouth tomorrow, we could clinch the championship with a win at Crystal Palace on the final day, should we also claim three points this evening.<\/p>\n

Caretaker Clarets boss Mike Jackson meanwhile has made no alterations to his side that drew 2-2 at home to Aston Villa eight days ago, despite their relegation from the top-flight being confirmed weeks ago.<\/p>\n

21-year-old goalkeeper Max Weiss made his league debut in that game and continues between the posts ahead of the experienced Martin Dubravka.<\/p>\n
