Arsenal vs Burnley
Arsenal are two wins away from their first Premier League title in 22 years as they take on Burnley in their final home match of the season.
Leandro Trossard scored a late winner in Arsenal’s last match, which ended with the controversial VAR overturn of West Ham’s equaliser. It means the fate of the title race remains in Mikel Arteta’s hands – two wins will see the Gunners home.
Burnley, already relegated, registered a respectable point against Aston Villa last time out but caretaker boss Michael Jackson will have his work cut out on what is sure to be a memorable occasion at the Emirates.
The last time these two met, Viktor Gyokeres and Declan Rice were on the scoresheet in a comfortable 2-0 win at Turf Moor in November.
Good afternoon!
Welcome to The Independent’s coverage of tonight’s Premier League action which sees Arsenal take on Burnley at the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners are looking to increase the pressure on Manchester City and keep the title race in their own hands but they know nothing less than a victory over the already relegated Clarets will do.
We’ll have all the team news, line-ups and more throughout the evening so stick with us as we build up to kick off at 8pm.
