'Insane following': African fans' unbreakable bond with Arsenal FC
Arsenal Football Newsletter
Martin Odegaard is pushing to return to the starting lineup for Arsenal's final home match of the season.
The Gunners host Burnley on Monday night and victory could potentially be enough to see them crowned Premier League champions the following day.
If Arsenal win and Manchester City then fail to beat Bournemouth 24 hours later, Arsenal will secure the title.
Mikel Arteta has named the same starting lineup for three matches in a row, but will be forced into at least one change against Burnley.
Ben White is out with a serious knee injury and will not play again this season, meaning Cristhian Mosquera is likely to start at right-back.
Odegaard was superb off the bench against West Ham, providing the assist for Leandro Trossard's winner, and the Arsenal captain could replace Eberechi Eze in the starting lineup.

Riccardo Calafiori is a doubt for this match after he came off at half-time at the London Stadium with an injury concern.
"We don't know whether he's going to be available now," Arteta said at his pre-match press conference on Thursday.
"We still have days ahead. Hopefully, it's nothing serious, but we'll have to wait and see how he reacts."
Myles Lewis-Skelly has impressed and could keep his place in midfield after Martin Zubimendi struggled against West Ham.
Up front, Viktor Gyokeres has been in strong form to keep Kai Havertz out the side and there is every chance that continues.
