Arsenal can put themselves on the brink of winning their first Premier League title since 2004 when they host Burnley on Monday night.
The Gunners are two wins away from being crowned champions, in what is set to be a defining ten days in Mikel Arteta’s tenure as manager. Already-relegated Burnley and a Crystal Palace side dreaming of European glory are all that stand in their way of this prize that has eluded them for so long.
The Clarets have very little to play for, and thus, the North Londoners should be capable of easing past them at the Emirates, despite Michael Jackson’s rallying cry toward his players on Thursday. Arsenal will see this match as an opportunity to drastically improve their goal difference ahead of the final day of the season, with this potentially coming into play if the Gunners drop points at Selhurst Park.

Arteta will be without Ben White and Jurrien Timber for the visit of the Lancashire team, meaning he’ll have to make do and mend at right-back. Meanwhile, Mikel Merino remains unavailable as he continues to fight his way back from a serious foot injury.
As for Burnley, they will be without Josh Cullen (knee injury) and Jordan Beyer (thigh problem), while Hannibal Mejbri faces a late fitness test to determine his availability.
