What Arsenal need to win the Premier League after narrow Burnley victory

Arsenal secured a 1-0 victory over Burnley, extending their lead at the top of the Premier League to five points.
Kai Havertz scored the decisive goal but was fortunate to avoid a red card after a VAR review upheld a yellow card for a mistimed challenge.
The win puts Arsenal on the brink of their first Premier League title in 22 years, potentially being crowned champions as early as Tuesday if Manchester City fail to win.
Should Manchester City win their next two matches, Arsenal would still clinch the title with a victory against Crystal Palace on Sunday.
The Gunners’ strong defensive form continues, having not conceded a goal in their last four league games since their defeat to Manchester City.
