Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger produces his final set of programme notes ahead of his last ever home match in charge of the club he has managed for 22 years.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed that he will miss "the competition" at the club most after he steps down from his role of 22 years.

The 67-year-old takes charge of his final home game as Gunners boss this afternoon when Arsenal host Burnley at the Emirates Stadium, with victory being enough to ensure that his side finish no lower than sixth in the Premier League table this season.

The match will bring an end to one of the most successful eras in Arsenal's history, and Wenger admitted that he will miss a number of aspects from the club when he finally steps down.

"What I will miss most about this job is the competition itself. The collective feeling, the sharing of emotions with people you work with on a daily basis, the desire to feel something together and the target you always have in front of you," he wrote in his final set of programme notes.

"I will miss the intensity of it all, because that's all I have known in my life. I'd say what has linked all my teams through the years is the desire to play as a connected team, at a high pace, and to make the players reach a complex form of collective football.

"That means involving at least three players every move, to express your talent, and make people feel that when football is expressed in a collective way and with a high understanding, it's art."

Wenger - whose final two games in charge will both come away from home - will be honoured before and after kickoff at the Emirates Stadium.
