Arsenal welcome Burnley to the Emirates Stadium for their final home game of the 2025/26 season on Monday night.
The Gunners battled for a hard fought 1-0 win away to West Ham last time out as a late Leandro Trossard strike sealed the three points amid VAR drama in stoppage time. A smart move and good individual play saw Martin Ødegaard tee the Belgian up before Callum Wilson fired in an equaliser from a corner in added time. However, Pablo was deemed to have fouled David Raya and the goal was ruled out.
Having already been relegated, Burnley don't have anything to play for, but did hold Aston Villa to a 2-2 draw in their last outing. Ross Barkley and Ollie Watkins turned the tables after Jaidon Anthony put the Clarets in front, but Zian Flemming equalised to ensure the points were shared at Turf Moor.
With just two games remaining, Mikel Arteta's side have the Premier League title within their grasp. Arsenal will be strong favourites to go one step closer, but Mike Jackson's team will be looking to have a bad impact on the title race and make the final day a thriller.
Here's our preview of the Gunners' clash with Burnley.

Arsenal team news
Arteta will be without Ben White for the remainder of the season as he was a first-half casualty of the win at West Ham. With Jurrien Timber also absent, Cristhian Mosquera could come in at right back with Declan Rice unlikely to be moved following the failed experiment at the home of his former side.
Riccardo Calafiori was also withdrawn against the Hammers, but it is hoped his injury isn't serious and he could be among the substitutes for the visit of Burnley. Piero Hincapié will likely start at left back in place of the Italian.
Martin Ødegaard could come into the midfield, taking Eberechi Eze's place, after his impressive cameo at the London Stadium, which saw him assist the winning goal. He will line up alongside Declan Rice and Myles Lewis-Skelly.
Predicted Arsenal lineup vs Burnley: Raya; Mosquera, Saliba, Gabriel, Hincapié; Rice, Lewis-Skelly, Ødegaard; Saka, Gyökeres, Trossard
Burnley team news
Hannibal Mejbri was forced off with an injury against Villa, but he has recovered and should be involved in some capacity on Monday.
After appearing for the Under-21s, Connor Roberts is close to making a comeback from a year-long absence with an Achilles injury, but Jordan Beyer and Josh Cullen will remain unavailable. Former Manchester City defender Kyle Walker will start at right back.
Zian Flemming got on the scoresheet last time out to take his season tally to 10 goals in the Premier League so he should be named in the starting lineup for the visit to the Emirates.
Predicted Burnley lineup vs Arsenal: Dubravka; Walker, Tuanzebe, Esteve, Pires; Ugochukwu, Florentino; Tchaouna, Hannibal, Anthony; Flemming
Arsenal vs Burnley score prediction
Two wins. That's it. Arsenal are two wins away from the Premier League title and the first of those is Monday's home clash against already relegated Burnley. Easy right? No.
The Gunners have done brilliantly to bounce back from their April slump and will be strong favourites going into their meeting with the Clarets, but everyone knows the visitors will make life difficult for them.
The simplest games are the ones that really test Arsenal's bottle and ability to handle moments of extreme pressure, but they should manage it against Burnley. Again, it might not be the prettiest of wins, but Arteta's side will get over the line.
A victory tomorrow will restore the Gunners' five point lead at the top. If City fail to win at Bournemouth, Arsenal will be the Premier League champions. A Cityzens victory at Dean Court will send the title race to the final day.
