Arsenal Vs Burnley Preview
22 years since their last title success, Arsenal can take one step closer to glory on Monday night. And the Arsenal vs Burnley odds strongly imply the Gunners will get the job done at the Emirates on MD37.
Mikel Arteta’s side know that a win against the already-relegated Clarets and a helping hand from Bournemouth on Tuesday will seal the deal. And the creation of this permutation has much to do with the seismic VAR call at West Ham last time out.
The decision to award a direct free-kick as opposed to a last-gasp Callum Wilson leveller has been the source of debate ever since. Nonetheless, the north Londoners are firmly in the driving seat to land what would be just their fourth Premier League title.
As for Mike Jackson’s men, their fate was sealed on April 22 when they succumbed to a 1-0 defeat to Man City. Interestingly, the 2025-26 FA Cup winners will be hoping the Lancashire outfit can pull off a surprise of epic proportions in N7.

Arsenal Vs Burnley Team News
Arsenal have a couple of defensive issues to navigate. Ben White and Riccardo Calafiori are set to miss out. Jurrien Timber is already in the treatment room alongside midfielder/striker Mikel Merino. Martin Odegaard may get the nod over Eberechi Eze after setting up the winner last week.
Meanwhile, Burnley could potentially be without Hannibal Mejbri who suffered an injury against Aston Villa. However, Mike Jackson has confirmed the Tunisian ace has trained well so could feature. Jordan Beyer, Connor Roberts and Josh Cullen are all absent.
