Preview, team news, head-to-head, probable line ups, tactical analysis and where to watch Monday’s Premier League clash between Arsenal and Burnley
Arsenal are set to host Burnley in their last home game of the season on Monday. The Premier League leaders will lock horns with a relegated Burnley side at the Emirates Stadium, with kick-off scheduled for 20:00 BST (15:00 ET / 12:00 PT).
With just two games remaining in the 2025/26 campaign, Mikel Arteta’s side are aware that two wins will be enough to mathematically secure their first league trophy in over two decades.
A victory against the Clarets would move them five points clear before City play their game in hand against Bournemouth, putting Arsenal on the absolute brink of winning the title.
Meanwhile, Burnley arrive at the Emirates with their fate already sealed. Mike Jackson has succeeded Scott Parker, who parted ways with the club after their relegation to the Championship was confirmed with several games to go.
Despite sitting second-bottom, only above Wolverhampton Wanderers, Burnley showed they are still fighting for pride last time out by holding Aston Villa to an impressive 2-2 draw at Turf Moor.
Team news & injury updates
Arsenal
An eight-day preparation window will have allowed Mikel Arteta to keep the core of his squad fresh, though a significant defensive blow will force a rearrangement, as Ben White has been ruled out for the remainder of the campaign after sustaining a serious knee injury during the 1-0 victory over West Ham.

In his absence, Cristhian Mosquera is expected to deputise at right-back, as Jurriën Timber and summer signing Mikel Merino also remain sidelined and will play no part on Monday. Meanwhile, Riccardo Calafiori is doubtful after being subbed off at half-time against West Ham through injury.
Burnley
With relegation confirmed, the Clarets have less physical pressure but face a tough task against the league’s most clinical defence. Hannibal Mejbri is doubtful after picking up an injury last weekend, while Connor Roberts, Josh Cullen and Jordan Beyer remain sidelined after recovering from long-term injuries.
