Will Arsenal edge closer to claiming the Premier League title, or will they leave the door open for Manchester City once more? The championship race could reach a pivotal moment this Monday evening.

The Gunners are set to host Burnley in their 37th and penultimate Premier League fixture. With the Citizens not playing until Tuesday night, following their FA Cup final victory this weekend, Mikel Arteta’s squad has a prime opportunity to establish a commanding lead in the quest for England’s top football prize.

Currently, the London side holds a two-point advantage over their Mancunian rivals. A victory tonight would extend that lead to five points, potentially securing the title if Manchester City were to falter in their Tuesday night clash against Bournemouth, scheduled for 8:30 PM.

Arsenal, also preparing for the Champions League final against PSG on June 30, has not been this close to their first English league title since the legendary 2004 “Invincibles” team, led by Arsène Wenger. Despite leading the championship standings uninterrupted since the 7th matchday, the Gunners have seen Manchester City mount a dangerous comeback in recent weeks.

The Premier League 37th matchday encounter between Arsenal and Burnley will be broadcast this Monday, May 18, starting at 9 PM on Canal + Foot.
