Arsenal’s pivotal premier league clash against burnley
The Gunners host Burnley this Monday, May 18, hoping to take another significant step towards the English championship title.
Will Arsenal take another significant step towards clinching the Premier League title, or will they leave the door open for Manchester City once more? The championship race could reach a decisive turning point this Monday evening.
The Gunners are set to host Burnley in their 37th, and penultimate, Premier League fixture. With the Cityzens not playing until Tuesday night, having just competed in (and won) the FA Cup final this past weekend, Mikel Arteta’s squad has a golden opportunity to establish a strong claim on the English crown.
Currently, the London side holds a two-point advantage over their Mancunian rivals. A victory tonight would extend that lead to five points, potentially securing the title for Arsenal should Manchester City falter in their Tuesday evening match against Bournemouth, scheduled for 8:30 PM (20h30).
Arsenal, who are also reportedly qualified for the Champions League final against PSG on June 30, have not been this close to their first English championship title since the “Invincibles” era of 2004, led by Arsène Wenger. Despite holding the top spot in the league uninterrupted since the seventh matchday, the Gunners have recently seen Manchester City dangerously close the gap.
The 37th Premier League matchday fixture between Arsenal and Burnley will be broadcast this Monday, May 18, starting at 9 PM (21 heures) on Canal + Foot.
