Arsenal can edge closer to the Premier League crown on Monday, with a win over relegated Burnley offering the chance to move five points clear of Manchester City before the champions play again. The title race has tightened in the final stretch, while Tottenham and West Ham fight for survival and European positions remain unsettled. City are unbeaten in 14 league matches, yet last week’s 3‑3 draw at Everton may prove decisive after their victory over Arsenal had briefly shifted momentum.

Pep Guardiola, preparing for FA Cup final against Chelsea, said City must simply stay alive and hope Arsenal falter. City trail by two points with two games left but hold a slight goal‑difference edge. Mikel Arteta described the recent 2‑1 loss at City as a “reset moment,” with Arsenal responding by winning three straight matches without conceding. The Gunners now stand on the brink of their first league title since 2004.
