After going through a sticky patch under Fabian Hurzeler, they have won four of their past five games - and I can see them winning this one too. Burnley are always competitive, and you can see them digging in again at home, but that approach has not translated into many positive results. As I've said for a while now, they are going down. It is more about what happens next season and whether they stick with manager Scott Parker to try to get them back up. Their fans don't appear to be convinced by him. Sutton's prediction: 0-1 Two more games about to get going, you ready? FT: Arsenal 1-2 Bournemouth Bournemouth Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola told BBC Sport: "We showed great personality to play in a big game and a big stadium. We've been at the level of the game. I'm very happy for the players. " On 22 days without a game: "You are worried you lose the intensity of the competition. We started really well. We recovered some players. Physically we sustained the level of the game. We finished strong. We were coming from a lot of draws in a row. "Alex [Scott] has been like this for many months. He was amazing today. He's in such good form. I'm so happy for him. He's worked a lot to be at this level. "Defensively apart from the penalty we defended those [set-piece] situations. We were quite brave. A complete performance. "It's a matter of growing into the game. We had very good spells on the ball. We were finding good gaps in the middle. " On their European hopes: "It's difficult for us but it's true that we are not far. There are many teams in a good run without losing. Whoever gets the final two spots will finish in a big run of games. " Click 'Get Involved' on this page to have your say Nervous, tense and too many players that don’t have the right character. Not about playing free and fancy football now. It’s about winning games. Arteta has to take some of the blame. Should have started with best team in the League Cup, no confidence now. Andy, Derby FT: Arsenal 1-2 Bournemouth Arsenal Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta told TNT Sports: "Disappointing. It's a big punch in the face and it's about how we react now. They are a team who haven't lost for 11 games for a reason, they did a lot right. "We were far from efficent. The first chance they had to attack the box, it's a deflection, a bad defending action and it's a goal. That's something we have to recover from. "The second half you expect a different game. We did a lot of strange things today. "We have been very consistent. This can happen, this is football. " On whether the players are hurting: "A lot. It has to hurt. They have to take it on the chin. You stand up and go for the fight or you're out. "It's a big week. A lot at stake. We're still in a good position in both competitions. " Burnley v Brighton (15: 00 BST) Matt Jones BBC Sport journalist Losses to Crystal Palace and Aston Villa in February felt like they could have been the beginning of the end for Fabian Hurzeler at Brighton, with supporters unhappy and the team toiling. But they have recovered superbly. A 2-0 win at Brentford sparked a major turnaround in fortunes, and such is the congested nature of the table that the Seagulls are suddenly well in the mix for a European place. The team have definitely tightened up in that time and have relied on the scoring exploits of Danny Welbeck to give them an edge. His brace against Liverpool took him to 12 goals for the season, one behind Glenn Murray's Premier League record for Brighton of 13. Welbeck is also enjoying one of the most prolific seasons for a player of his age in Premier League history. Click 'Get Involved' on this page to have your say Arsenal have not played free flowing football all season. Arsenal are too reliant on dead balls and they’ve been found out. David, Norfolk Burnley v Brighton (15: 00 BST) Mike Minay BBC Radio 5 Live commentator at Turf Moor October

the 18th is the last time that Burnley won here in the Premier

League. A 2-1 win over Leeds United, which feels like a lifetime ago. Scott

Parker doesn't want to focus on the future, doesn’t want to focus on the past,

because that can be quite draining. He knows the task in hand with a 10-point

gap to safety. He was said that he had given his

players a little bit of time off, during the three week break they have had

because of the internals and FA Cup. They have struggled on both ends of the

pitch this season, but they might be boosted by the return of Axel Tuanzebe in

defence, who hasn’t played for Burnley since February 22, but did play in the

international break for DR Congo, scoring the winning goal for them that sent them

to the World Cup for the first time in 50 years. Burnley v Brighton (15: 00 BST) Matt Jones BBC Sport journalist After a run of three draws and a win in all competitions in January, there was a small sense of Burnley building momentum. But their subsequent failure to kick on means relegation is almost certain at this stage. Parker has been unable to find a formula that works at either end of the pitch this season. Up top, they have occasionally clicked into gear - albeit they have had the fewest shots (excluding blocked efforts) in the Premier League this season - but at the back they've consistently leaked goals. Their total of 61 goals conceded is the highest of any team going into the weekend fixtures and in terms of style, Brighton do not appear to be an ideal match up. The Seagulls rank first for high turnovers and only Tottenham Hotspur have faced more high turnovers than Burnley this season. BBC Sounds On the move today?

Brentford v Everton (15: 00 BST) Now we know that fifth place gets you into next season's Champions League, both of these teams must be thinking they have got a chance. They are level on 46 points in seventh and eighth, and the way the teams immediately above them, Liverpool and Chelsea, are playing then you don't feel it is beyond Brentford or Everton to catch them. Who would have thought last summer that there was the possibility of Everton finishing above Liverpool this season? It could happen though, and next weekend's Merseyside derby is going to be very interesting. Everton have to go to west London first, though. I was horribly wrong when I predicted the reverse of this game at Hill Dickinson Stadium in January. I went for a 1-0 Toffees win and the Bees won 4-2. This time? It will be a lot closer. Yes, I know I am sitting on the fence but there is a predictions title at stake for me here, so I am going to follow form and say Brentford will get their fourth draw in a row. Sutton's prediction: 1-1 Brentford v Everton (15: 00 BST) Chris Wise Final Score reporter at GTech Community Stadium The queue forming behind 5th place Liverpool is long. A win here for either Brentford or Everton and they’ll go

level on points with Arne Slot’s side. I’ve really enjoyed David Moyes approach this week to the

whole ‘European football’ conversation. Most managers just play it all down at

this stage of the season, but he’s made of point of saying that he and Everton

should be talking about it because the club and the fans have had so many

rotten years in recent times. It’s refreshing and, from an Everton perspective,

encouraging too. Brentford v Everton (15: 00 BST) Everton are enjoying a resurgent season of their own as they target European qualification, although the Toffees have done so largely without the services of a top-level striker. Thierno Barry has improved over the course of the campaign while Beto's performance in scoring two goals in the win against Chelsea last time out was hailed as his best showing in an Everton shirt by manager David Moyes, but Everton's two centre forwards have still only totalled 12 league goals between them. But, only Arsenal and Manchester United have amassed more points than Everton's 21 since matchday 19. The 2-0 defeat at Arsenal on 14 March was a first away from home for the Toffees in 2026 but they have picked up 41 points in away games since Moyes returned to the club in January 2025, second only to the Gunners, winning four of the past six. Brentford v Everton (15: 00 BST) Brentford have lost just once in their eight most recent league outings, although they've only won one of the past six. Draws have instead been the order of the day, with Brentford facing the prospect of four in a row for the first time as a Premier League side. A goal from striker Igor Thiago may be needed if Brentford are to get back to winning ways. He needs just one more to tie the club Premier League record of 20 in a single season, currently held by Ivan Toney and Bryan Mbuemo. Thiago scored a hat-trick against Everton earlier this season. So, today's 3pmers are: Even at this stage of the season every point could be crucial for our mid-table clubs. Did you read our piece this week on 11 English teams potentially qualifying for European football next season? It could happen, in fact it's very hard to say right now which spots in the table will be enough for which competition. For now, the top five gets you into the Champions League, sixth is good enough for the Europa League, seventh for the Conference League. The FA Cup winners also get a Europa League spot. Oh my, what a result to start Saturday! Keep your Arsenal and Bournemouth takes coming in and we'll revisit them in a little bit. But, for now, we're fully focused on the race for Europe. Brentford, Everton and Brighton are all trying to finish as high up the table as they possibly can. .. FT: Arsenal 1-2 Bournemouth Lee Blakeman Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live at Emirates Stadium The Sporting win counted for nothing. You would've thought that playing at the Emirates given what has happened, that game aside, in the last few weeks would give Arsenal the boost that they needed. The extra atmosphere that Mikel Arteta called for arrived pre-match, but on the pitch Arsenal were consistently second best. Despite making all five substitutions at his disposal, Mikel Arteta and his players had no idea how to break through a Bournemouth side who without the ball were absolutely spot on. FT: Arsenal 1-2 Bournemouth Martin Keown Former Arsenal defender on TNT Sports Now

people have to stand up. Personalities have to come forward. Leaders need to

emerge. It’s still in your hands because you play Manchester City in the

Premier League. You do have a Champions League game midweek though, and you

need to make sure that the wheels do not come off. FT: Arsenal 1-2 Bournemouth Andy Reid Former Spurs and Forest midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live at Emirates Stadium It absolutely leaves the title race wide open. The concerning thing for Arsenal will be the lack of creativity, the lack of guile, the desire to get into the right areas. Also a lack of game understanding today, trying to play through the press when sometimes you have to go around or over it, they did neither. Too many sideways passes and they paid the price for it. FT: Arsenal 1-2 Bournemouth Martin Keown Former Arsenal defender on TNT Sports This

is a huge disappointment. Bournemouth were Magnificent but how many times have we been

saying that now? Southampton were magnificent last week. You have to be better

than you were today. Bournemouth

pressed exceptionally well, but it's about sticking together, and you are going to

have to, they have a huge game in the midweek, and everyone is going to be writing

you off now. Will that change the mentality of the players? The pressure

today was too much at times, and we’re lacking energy. Last Updated 11th April 2026 at 14: 24 Please Note: All times UK. Tables are subject to change.
