Arsenal host Burnley at the Emirates Stadium on May 17, 2026, in a Premier League fixture that could see the Gunners take a giant step towards their first title in over two decades. The stakes are sky-high for Arsenal, who need maximum points to maintain pressure on Manchester City in the title race.
Match Preview
The champagne is on ice for Arsenal, who know winning their final two Premier League games, starting with the visit of Burnley, will seal them a first title in over 20 years. After a controversial 1-0 win against West Ham in the last round, this had been pencilled in as Arsenal’s first potential opportunity to end their two-decade long wait for a title, but Manchester City’s win in midweek means that they’ll have to wait a little longer yet. Victory here coupled with a City slip-up against Bournemouth the day after this game will land the Gunners the title.
A 44-match unbeaten home run against promoted opposition suggests they’re likely to hold up their end of the bargain. Winning the last 15 of those should only reinforce belief, as should three home victories in a row without conceding. Having won their final home league game in 23 of the last 28 seasons, Mikel Arteta’s men look set to sign off at the Emirates in style.
Burnley’s fate for the season is already sealed, as the Clarets know they’ll be playing Championship football next season. All that’s left to play for is to avoid finishing bottom of the table for the first time ever in the Premier League. They could have few complaints if it were a fate they fell to on the back of one win in 27 league games. A failure to win an away league game this season against a side starting this round in the top 14 will hardly see them head south with confidence, especially having lost four away games in a row by a 2+ goal margin.
