Arsenal will be looking to grab the league title by the throat on Monday Night when they host already-relegated Burnley at the Emirates Stadium for the penultimate fixture.
Monday night could be the evening that Arsenal finally end their wait to be crowned champions, as any kind of victory against Burnley would push them five points clear.

Things got seriously close to turning sour for the Gunners last weekend, had relegation-threatened West Ham not been denied a stoppage-time equalizer following a contentious VAR review at the London Stadium.
That decision meant Leandro Trossard’s strike was enough for a 1-0 win and three precious points.
For the manager less Clarets, they have been stuck in 19th place since November, winning just one of their last 27 league matches, picking up only one more point in that stretch than the 12 they earned from their opening nine fixtures, when things looked brighter for Scott Parker’s side.
Parker was sacked at the start of the month once their relegation was confirmed.
Mike Jackson has again been placed in temporary charge for the final few games, starting with a 3-1 loss at Leeds United before a battling 2-2 draw against Aston Villa last weekend.
But their dreadful away record has produced just two victories this term, and they’ve conceded three or more goals in each of their last four trips on the road.

Arsenal vs Burnley prediction and betting tips
The Clarets have never scored more than once in their 19 previous Premier League games against Arsenal.
Arsenal have won all 10 of their Premier League games against sides already relegated that season, the best 100% record in the competition.
The Gunners are unbeaten in their last 44 Premier League home games against promoted sides since a 1-0 loss to Newcastle United in November 2010.
They have won their last 15 such matches by an aggregate score of 43-9.
Without a doubt, Arsenal are the favourites to win this clash on Monday night, and with home advantage, they will be eager to collect all three points to go five points clear.
But they cannot underestimate Burnley. Despite being relegated, the visitors should still be treated with caution.
