Sunday's matches

PREDICTION: A 2-0 win for Arsenal
FANTASY PICK: Theo Walcott
KEY STAT: Arsenal are unbeaten on the final day in each of the last nine seasons, the longest current run. Only West Ham have scored as many headed goals as West Brom this season (15).

- ARSENAL

Arsenal will again be without England forward Danny Welbeck because of a knee problem. Midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Mathieu Debuchy (both hamstring) are set to step up training ahead of the FA Cup final. Captain Mikel Arteta continues his rehabilitation after an ankle problem.

- WEST BROM

Tony Pulis has no fresh injury worries. Goalkeeper Ben Foster remains out until October with cruciate knee ligament damage, the Baggies' only major absentee, and they could be unchanged from Monday's 3-0 win over Chelsea. They are 10 points above the relegation zone after Pulis took over in January when they were just a point clear of the bottom three.

Provisional squad: Myhill, Rose, Gamboa, Pocognoli, Dawson, McAuley, Lescott, Olsson, Brunt, Wisdom, Baird, Gardner, Fletcher, McManaman, Morrison, Yacob, Mulumbu, Sessegnon, Berahino, Ideye, Anichebe.

PREDICTION: A 1-1 draw
FANTASY PICK: Christian Benteke
KEY STAT: Villa won their only previous Premier League home game against Burnley 5-2. Of their goalscorers that day, only Gabriel Agbonlahor remains at the club.

- ASTON VILLA

Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood has vowed not to rest players against Burnley despite the prospect of the FA Cup final six days later. Sherwood has a largely-fit squad at his disposal for the visit of Sean Dyche's relegated side. Nathan Baker is still recovering from a knee injury, as is defensive partner Ciaran Clark, while Kieran Richardson is out with a calf problem.

Provisional squad: Guzan, Given, Lowton, Hutton, Vlaar, Okore, Senderos, Cissokho, Westwood, Delph, Sanchez, Grealish, Gil, N'Zogbia, Cole, Sinclair, Cleverley, Benteke, Weimann, Agbonlahor.

- BURNLEY

Steven Reid is expected to make his final appearance as a professional footballer for Burnley at Aston Villa on Sunday. Reid has announced his retirement and is likely to play some part on Sunday before bowing out. Clarets manager Sean Dyche has a full squad to pick from apart from long-term absentees midfielder Dean Marney and defender Kevin Long.

Provisional squad: Heaton, Gilks, Trippier, Mee, Shackell, Duff, Keane, Reid, Ward, Boyd, Jones, Arfield, Taylor, Wallace, Kightly, Ings, Barnes, Sordell, Jutkiewicz, Vokes.

PREDICTION: A 2-2 draw

- CHELSEA

Forward Eden Hazard could miss his first Premier League match of the season after undergoing emergency dental surgery to remove his wisdom teeth. Midfielder Cesc Fabregas is suspended following his dismissal in Monday night's loss at West Brom, while goalkeeper Petr Cech (calf) is a doubt.

- SUNDERLAND

Keeper Costel Pantilimon is out of Sunderland's final game.

Midfielder Sebastian Larsson, who finished the game at the Emirates Stadium limping, is fit, but defender Wes Brown and midfielders Liam Bridcutt and Jordi Gomez (all knee) remain on the sidelines.

- SWANSEA

Ki Sung-yueng has had a minor knee operation and misses out. The South Korean has been struggling in recent weeks and had surgery now to allow him to be fit for the start of Swansea's pre-season preparation.

On-loan midfielder Aaron Lennon is ineligible against his parent club.

- HULL CITY

Hull boss Steve Bruce hopes to name an unchanged side for the Tigers' unlikely Premier League survival mission. Nikica Jelavic is expected to lead the forward line once again as Bruce seeks the win his side require to give themselves any hope of staying up.

Mike Williamson returns from suspension for Newcastle's vital clash. The central defender is available once again after serving a two-match ban following his second dismissal of the season at Leicester, and he could be joined in the squad by midfielder Siem de Jong, who is back in training after a thigh problem. Striker Papiss Cisse (knee) and winger Rolando Aarons (hamstring) are fit, if short of match fitness, but keeper Rob Elliot (thigh), defenders Steven Taylor (calf/shin) and Massadio Haidara (knee), and midfielder Cheick Tiote (also knee) remain on the sidelines.
