With the Premier League title within grasp for the first time since 2004, Arsenal understands the imperative of not underestimating any remaining fixture. Their narrow 1-0 victory against West Ham last Sunday undoubtedly navigated a significant challenge. For their final home match of the season, Arsenal prepares to face a Burnley side that has, for weeks, been playing solely for pride.

Scheduled for Monday evening at 9:00 PM (French time), this clash between the Gunners and the Clarets isn’t the final game of the 37th matchday. The hosts will be eager to, at least temporarily, re-establish a five-point lead over Manchester City before their rivals’ trip to Bournemouth the following day.

Arsenal: team news and title race update

Despite moments of pressure from a West Ham team battling relegation, Arsenal successfully navigated the challenge with the slimmest of margins, securing a 1-0 win to keep their title destiny in their own hands. While a VAR-disallowed goal for the Hammers deep into stoppage time sparked debate across the Channel this week, Arsenal remains intensely focused on their primary domestic objective – the ultimate prize – ahead of the Champions League final later this month.

Mikel Arteta has generally favored consistency in his starting lineups, but recent issues with his full-backs have necessitated changes. This trend is expected to continue following Ben White’s knee injury against West Ham, which rules him out for the remainder of the season and potentially the World Cup with the Three Lions. On the left flank, Ricardo Calafiori also had to withdraw at the London Stadium, leading to expectations of a defensive lineup featuring Hincapié and Mosquera on the wings. Crucial in midfield, Rice had shifted to cover for White against West Ham, prompting Arteta to reconsider his options as the Gunners’ balance seemed to suffer without the England international in his usual role.
