"Arsenal will welcome Burnley to the Emirates on Monday night. Arsenal are on the cusp of making real history, with a first Premier League crown since way back in 2004.

Arsenal welcome Burnley to the Emirates on Monday night with a chance to move closer to a first Premier League title since 2004. Arsenal secured a controversial 1-0 win at West Ham, then reached the Champions League final with a 2-1 aggregate victory over Atletico Madrid. A 3-0 home win over Fulham has reinforced their strong form, and they are viewed as heavy favorites. Ben White will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury, and Mikel Merino is ruled out after foot surgery in January. Leandro Trossard is expected to start again after scoring a late winner, while Martin Odegaard may return. Burnley have already been relegated and face a difficult match after drawing 2-2 with Aston Villa.
